TextArea does not "officially" support multiple text styles. Use RichTextEditor instead.
By using getTextField() you are using unsupported APis that could go away in a future release. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Derrick Anderson Sent: Friday, April 11, 2008 12:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [flexcoders] insert at cursor position in textarea 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.
