Hi, I would like to be able to highlight text in a TextArea that is under the user's mouse.
In Flex 2 is there a way to get the text character that is closest to a given x,y position within a TextArea (or TextField)? Right now, I have each word in a separate TextArea and I listen for mouseOver events on each TextArea, but this is a bit of a pain. It would be cleaner to put all text into one TextArea, but this requires me to be able to determine the mapping between pixel coordinates and text character positions. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This post follows up on an unresolved previous posting: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/21888 Thanks, James
