I got round this this by adding a mouse listener to the textField and checking
onMouseDown that the mouse was pressed within the text area, if it was then
onRelease gets the selection (getCaret(), getBeginIndex() & getEndIndex()) and
stores it in variables so it can be recalled later.
This allows you to set the selection up again after a styling button has been
released, so the user doesn't have to re-select to apply some more styling (maybe
they want it bold & italic). It also allows you to setup a function to check
the styling of selected text and automatically put toggle buttons into the correct
state (if bold text is selected the bold button goes to the down state).
It all depends how far you want to take your "quite simple text editor" ;)

If I remember correctly using onRelease or even onPress is to late and
the selection is already gone. To store the selection indexes you need
to use the onMouseDown event.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Text editor - Selection trouble.
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
