[Xerte] Inserting Special Characters

[Julian Tenney]

AS3 I think. It's Selection.getCaretIndex() in AS2.

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,

I knew that would get your hackles up...

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?
