I have a complex text input member that I put on the screen, put some new text in it, scroll if necessary, and then allow the user to input text. I now want to put the latest text at the top and then allow the user to type from there. However, my attempts to place the cursor at position n have been fruitless.

Even when I make a test movie with code like this:

_movie.keyboardFocusSprite = 1
  the selStart = 3
  the selEnd = 3

I get the cursor at the end of the text in the member rather than after char 3.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
