That´s right, because once you hitted the button, the selection is the
button.
You need to store the start/end index somewere and then, on the button,
use that indexes instead of the Selection functions.
An easy way could be to assign into an onEnterFrame a function that checks
if the selected item is the textfield and if is, store the start/end
positions of the selection.
Then, the button code should look like (assuming you stored the start/end
indexes in startIndex and endIndex)
boldButton.onRelease = function () {
my_txt.setTextFormat(startIndex, endIndex, arialBold);
}
Hope it helps...

Hi all,
I'm trying to build a quite simple text editor in f8 and are currently
having some problems with the Selecton class.
If anyone can give me some pointers it would be much apreciated.
Problem is that whenever I try to use my buttons I loose focus of the
textField and the Selection doesn't trigger. Like so:
boldButton.onRelease = function () {
my_txt.setTextFormat(Selection.getBeginIndex(),
Selection.getEndIndex(), arialBold);
}
Selection.getBeginIndex() and Selection.getEndIndex() only returns -1
And if someone has a live exemple (with code) that would be awesome. A
component is not an option tho.
Tnx
