RE: [flexcoders] Re: textArea cursor position

[Gordon Smith]

I set the 'text' property of a TextArea to "Line1\nLine2" in ActionScript so that it displayed the two lines   Line1 Line2   and I put your code into a 'click' handler for the TextArea.   When I click at the beginning of either line (in front of either "L") I get a good boundary rectangle.   When I click at the end of either line (after the "1" or "2") I get null because there is no visible character after the caret.   This seems exactly what I would expect.   - Gordon   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Branko Sent: Thursday, October 26, 2006 12:24 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: textArea cursor position   var caretIndex:int = textArea.getTextField().caretIndex; var Bounderies:Rectangle = new Rectangle(); Bounderies = textArea.getTextField().getCharBoundaries(caretIndex); But when caret index is on the begining of the line Boundaries object is NULL.And I want to awoid that. -- In [EMAIL PROTECTED]ups.com, "Gordon Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > The cursor blinks at the caretIndex.
