Vaguely. TextArea keeps all the values of the TextField cached. So when
you edit the TextField directly, you're probably not affecting the
TextArea. I don't immediately see a way around this. All the methods you
would need access to in order to refresh the TextArea properties seem
private. You might want to try
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/mx/controls/textClasses/TextRange.html(which
I've never used so I can't give you any more help than the
suggestion).
