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?
