@miltoon71: Thank you for your hint!
I was trying to delete the text inside a
TextArea-component after hitting
Keyboard.ENTER.
Here is the solution:
var ta_report:TextArea = new TextArea();
var tr_report:TextRange = new TextRange(ta_report, true, 0,
ta_report.length);
tr_report.text = '';
... ugly bug,
masu
