Is this happening because you are using the CHANGE event - is that firing when you change modify the character also?

Have you tried using the TextEvent.TEXT_INPUT event - this might work, but I am not sure.

The only other suggestion may be out of place, but concerns "usability" and might be redundant: Making a text field large enough for the input data may be a way around this too - I know email addresses can be ridiculously long, but I think I would be happier with one that is long enough rather than having one the right width just to please a graphic designer...


I finally sorted it.

TEXT_INPUT was no good - it only changed the text once another character had been typed.

In the end I reverted to the CHANGE event but used replaceText() on the field instead of replacing the text in the string by manipulating fld.text;

Thanks for everyone who suggested a fix.
