This seems so simple but …
Basically i have multiple textfields.
I assign each one a id like :
myTextField.id = 3
i cannot seem to access this id either by event.id or event.target.id when using the keyboard handlers…
Anyone any ideas? [import]uid: 6981 topic_id: 11950 reply_id: 311950[/import]
Just had this problem. I had to use event.target._id
Don’t know why but it worked. Figured it out by doing print(event.target) and it spewed out a whole lot of data and that’s where I found it with the underscore. [import]uid: 14032 topic_id: 11950 reply_id: 44221[/import]
are you saying that Corona is changing the name of the programmer assigned id attribute to be _id?? I’d be really surprised at that.
I don’t believe the _id in the answer, is the same as the id in the question but someone correct me if I’m wrong [import]uid: 6175 topic_id: 11950 reply_id: 44640[/import]
Here’s some code so you you can see it how I’m using it:
[code]
local onButtonPress = function( event )
if (event.phase == “began”) and event.target._id == “link1” and link1.isActive then
audio.play( tapSound, { channel=2, onComplete=audio.stop( 2 ) } )
activeButton.btn = link1
activeButton.call = link1.overSrc
activeButton.y = scrollview.y
system.openURL( “http://www.vandono.com” )
activeButton.btn = nil
elseif (event.phase == “began”) and event.target._id == “link2” and link2.isActive then
audio.play( tapSound, { channel=2, onComplete=audio.stop( 2 ) } )
activeButton.btn = link2
activeButton.call = link2.overSrc
activeButton.y = scrollview.y
system.openURL( “http://www.fearandsunshine.com” )
activeButton.btn = nil
elseif (event.phase == “ended”) and event.target._id == “backBtn” then
–CLEAN OUT MENU GROUP BEFORE CHANGING SCENES
display.remove( allthemgraphics ); allthemgraphics = nil
director:changeScene( “mainmenu”, “fade” )
end
end
