Any ideas on what might cause this? The code below works except that when the user strikes a <backSpace> it removes two characters from _typedText. Paul override protected function textInput_changeHandler (event:Event):void { _typedText += this.textInput.text; if (!findFirstItem(_typedText)) { _typedText = _typedText.substr (0,_typedText.length -1); findFirstItem(_typedText); } } override protected function keyDownHandler (event:KeyboardEvent):void { if(!event.ctrlKey) { if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.BACKSPACE || event.keyCode == Keyboard.DELETE) { _typedText = _typedText.substr(0,_typedText.length -1); findFirstItem(_typedText); } } }
