ErMsg[findIndexF(i)]._alpha= 100;

[Ron Colmen]

I want to be able to make the relevent ErMsg to alpha 100 if infoDats0 or infoDats1 text length is <=1. Below is my code and can't get it to work?

var chkEk:Array = [chkE0, chkE1]

var theTFa = new Array(infoDats0, infoDats1)

var ErMsg = new Array(Field0, Field1) // alpha is set to 0 at the start

function findIndexF(tf:TextField):Number{

          for(var i:Number=0;i<theTFa.length;i++){

                    if(tf==theTFa){

                              return i;

                    }

          }

};

goUp_btn.onRelease = function() {

var chkE0 = infoDats0.text.split(' ').join('');

var chkE1 = infoDats1.text.split(' ').join('');

          for(i=0; i<theTFa.length; i++){

                    if (chkE0.length>1 && chkE1.length>1){

                              //doSome

                    } else {

                              if (chkEk.length<=1){

                                        ErMsg[findIndexF(i)]._alpha= 100; //not working

                              }

                    }

          }

};

findIndexF is expecting a textfield and you're passing a number.  that's not going to work.

[Ron Colmen]

How should I approach in getting this fixed? is there a way to relate theTFa to chkEk ?

[kglad]

findIndexF(ErMsg) makes more sense but in the context of your code it looks like you might want to use:

ErMsg._alpha=100;

[Ron Colmen]

Thanks kglad. I tried both;

findIndexF(ErMsg)  - did not work'.

ErMsg - turned everything (ErMsg) to 100 alpha.

[kglad]

what do chkE0 and chkE1 look like?

[Ron Colmen]

variables. I'm using those variables to make sure there's some text in theTFa at the time its being pressed.

[kglad]

i know they're variables.  what are their values?

[Ron Colmen]

infoDats0 text field contains the users name and infoDats1 contains postcode. I'm basically trying to avoid those 2 text fields being empty when goUP_btn is pressed.

click your button and opy and paste the trace output using

goUp_btn.onRelease = function() {

var chkE0 = infoDats0.text.split(' ').join('');

var chkE1 = infoDats1.text.split(' ').join('');

trace(chkE0+" : "+chkE1);

trace(chkEk);

          for(i=0; i<theTFa.length; i++){

                    if (chkE0.length>1 && chkE1.length>1){

                              //doSome

                    } else {

                              if (chkEk.length<=1){

                                        ErMsg[findIndexF(i)]._alpha= 100; //not working

                              }

                    }

          }

};

thank YOU kglad.

chkEk was undefined. Got it fixed!

[kglad]

you're welcome.
