Type String Event userInput Revision Current Public Release (2018.3326) Keywords userInput, phase
A String identifying where in the userInput sequence the event occurred. This can be one of the following values:
"began" — On devices this is the
"ended" — This event is sent when the text field/box loses focus, for example when the user touches a different field or when the keyboard is hidden.
"submitted" — For TextField objects, this event is dispatched when the user presses the "return" key to finish editing. This does not apply to TextBox objects because pressing "return" adds a new line.
"editing" — This event occurs when the user types or modifies text in the field. During this phase, several other keys are present in the event table (see the userInput documentation for a complete listing).
