CLEAR INPUT TEXT problem

[nardove]

hi, first i'll excuse for my english

the problem is that i want to create a form when the user click on a inputtext
is clear its content and let the user write the information

i got one symbol a Movie Clip that has a input text inside

i wrote this code:

this is for the movie clip "mc_nombre"

onClipEvent (load) {
this.etiqueta.variable = "nombre";
nombre = "nombre";
}
onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
tellTarget (this) {
nombre = "";
}
}

and this one for "mc_apellido" that is a copy on the same symbol:

onClipEvent (load) {
this.etiqueta.variable = "apellido";
apellido = "apellido";
}
onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
tellTarget (this) {
apellido = "";
}
}

the problem here is that when i click in one of them, both clear its texts, i
mean, that both input gets the instruccion to clear the variables to ""

thanks for the help, and i hope that you can understand this

if you know another way to do this please tell me

add a hitTest to the clip action,

onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
if(this.hitTest(_root._xmouse,_root._ymouse,true)) {
//tellTarget (this) {// no need for this line- plus tellTarget is deprecated
code
nombre = "";
//}
}
}

Have you tried using the onSetFocus event? Maybe this will help.

myInputTextBox.onSetFocus = function() {clearTag(_root.myInputTextBox);

your functions (defined before in script) might look something like this:

function clearTag(o) {
if (o.text.charAt(0)=="<" and o.text.charAt(o.text.length-1)==">") {
o.setTextFormat(enteredFormat);
o.text="";
}
}

function addTag(o,s) {
if (o.text=="") {
o.setTextFormat(emptyFormat);
o.text=s;
}

}
