[Xerte] Inserting Special Characters

[Dave Burnett]

AS3 I think. It’s Selection.getCaretIndex() in AS2.
Does that do what you need?

TextField.caretIndex

Or is that AS3?

I have it working now, but
there doesn’t seem to be a way of detecting when the position of the caret
moves – i.e. the user uses the mouse to put it somewhere else in the text – I
can’t seem to find a change event for that. It works fine if you’re typing
away, hit the special button to add your char, then carry on typing, but doing
later might be troublesome…

 

I really don’t want to keep
polling through onEnterFrame – sometimes you have to.

 

Eventually this will be a
separate swf that provides all the special characters in about 14 languages,
with a combo for language, then buttons for each char, so I can probably put
all the code in that SWF and register that as the Selection listener rather
than use rootIcon – if I have to use onEnterFrame to poll, at least then I can
turn it on and off as focus shifts from input text fields to other objects and
back again, and only poll while an input field has the focus,

The Flash 8 bugbase, but I
doubt Adobe will be rushing to fix it…

>Nope – a String. Cosmic. 

 

Should
I add it to the Xerte bugbase?
