Daniel,
Any idea why this would happen? I enter the text below, placed my cursor.
"Text I Entered [PLACED MY CURSOR HERE]";
Then I used textArea.getTextField().replaceSelectedText("SOME TEXT");
trace(textArea.htmlText) or trace(textArea.text). Got back where I
entered and not the text "SOME TEXT" even though I can visually see it
in the textarea.
