i was able to do it w/out subclassing like so:
private function handleMergeFieldClick(event:*):void
{
textArea.getTextField().replaceSelectedText('['[EMAIL PROTECTED]
+']');
}
works like a charm, except now I realize I would like some color applied to
the text that was inserted. is there a similar function like
replaceSelectedText but that will replace selected text with a TextRange
object?
thanks,
d.
