When has a field changed?

[James Hurley]

I have a text field (unlocked) that the user can edit, but  I want to know when and to deal with the changes.

Here is what I have come up with, something of a kludge. Is there a cleaner way?

on mouseEnter --Enter the field
   set the textChange of me to false
end mouseEnter

on rawkeydown tKey
   if the textChange of me is true then
      pass rawKeyDown
   else
      set the textChange of me to true
      pass rawKeyDown
   end if
end rawKeyDown

on mouseLeave
   if the textChange of me is false then 
      exit mouseLeave
   else
      send "mouseUP" to button "ProcessChanges" --This is where the change is dealt with.
   end if
end mouseLeave
