Hello People, I hope this is the correct forum to this question. Anyhow, I have a small issue in Flash. I have composed a message in the text input component. When I click the button the message is transferred and displayed in the text area. Thats worked fine! However, the message is still visible in the text input component and I want it to be removed from there as soon as I click pn the button. I have tried many times to alter the code but the problem still persists. I am not very good at computer programming so.. If you know how I can fix this that be great guys! btn_Send.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doSend, false, 0, true); function doSend($e:Event):void{ if(txt_input.text != ""){ txt_area.appendText(txt_input.text+"\n"); txt_area.verticalScrollPosition = txt_area.maxVerticalScrollPosition; txt_input.text = ""; } txt_input.setFocus();
