Dynamic Labels Flash CFMX7

[ArtNirvana]

Well, I've been working almost all of my datafield problems and I realized I
need to put info on the form that updates when a button is clicked. (the info
should just be a label - not an editable textbox)

How to I add a label that can be updated with the onclick event in a Flash
form?

Thanks

I believe it's onclick="mydatafield.value = 'mylabel';">
You might need to have the attribute label="" in the datafield before you
are able to change the label. mydatafield.text (if I'm not mistaken) is the
value being passed.

I think you misunderstood me, I didn't exactly write it out well.

I DO NOT want to use an editable text box or text field. I am trying to put
information on the form that I can update, but the user cannot (a text box
implies they should be able to edit it).

Hence, lables. (Not the label attribute of an editable textbox - a label all
by itself)

There are form element such as a CFFORMITEM that allows text content to be
added to a form; however, it seems to lack an ID or Name that I could reference
to dynamically update it.

How, do I add a label to a form that can by dynamically updated. For example,
a User ID is generally autmatically assigned - I want to display the ID as a
label and NOT as a text field or I may want one message to diaplay if option a
is selected or another if option b is selected.

Is there a way to refer to CFFORMITEM's to change their properties or is their
another element that works on FLASH forms that acts as a synamic label?

Thanks

Simple answer - not directly.

You can bind a cfformitem to a variable (a hidden field) and then change the
value of the hidden field via actionscript.

or you can set editable="false" on a text field.
