Hi Sarawinder,
Depending on which ActionScript version you're using the
code will
differ. For ActionScript 2.0, it will look something like
this:
_root.createTextField('mouseText',_root.getNextHighestDepth,0,0,100,20);
_root.mouseText.autoSize='left';
_root.clickCounter=0;
Mouse.addListener(this);
function onMouseDown() {
switch (_root.clickCounter) {
case 1 : _root.mouseText.text="this is the first click";
break;
case 2 : _root.mouseText.text="this is the second click";
break;
case 3 : _root.mouseText.text="this is the third click";
break;
_root.clickCounter++;
For ActionScript 3.0, there's more possibility of mucking
things up.
More power=more opportunity for errors. But if you feel you
have enough
experience then give it a try. Here's the same code for Flash
CS3:
import flash.text.*;
import flash.events.*;
var mouseText:TextField=new TextField();
mouseText.autoSize='left';
this.addChild(mouseText);
var clickCounter:uint=0;
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,this.onMouseDown);
function onMouseDown(eventObj:MouseEvent) {
switch (_this.clickCounter) {
case 1 : this.mouseText.text="this is the first click";
break;
case 2 : this.mouseText.text="this is the second click";
break;
case 3 : this.mouseText.text="this is the third click";
break;
this.clickCounter++;
}//onMouseDown
Good luck,
Patrick
