How can I get the content of a text field as soon as a key is pressed?
If I do something like the following:
<canvas>
<edittext>
<method event="onkeydown">Debug.write('keydown', this.getText
())</method>
</edittext>
</canvas>
then what is printed in the debugger omits the effect of the current
key --- when I press 'a', the text field shows 'a' and the empty
string is printed; then when I press 'b', the text field shows 'ab'
and 'a' is printed. And the same with event="onkeyup".
Is there an elegant solution for this, or does one need to do
something gnarly such as set a timer when a key is pressed in order
to read the content on the next frame?
