Re: [flexcoders] Change the caret in TextArea
Thanks. I did come across this in my searching. This is also a brute force approach which I was hoping to avoid. Looks like I will have to do this anyway. Thanks a lot for your attention. -Raj valdhor-3 wrote: I do not believe you can inside Flex. If someone else knows differently, please chime in.

[flexcoders] Change the caret in TextArea
Folks, I need to implement and editable text area where the cursor (caret) is different from the default vertical flashing caret. Is the caret a skinnable property of TextArea? In case the flashing vertical line is deeply entrenched, I would like to be able to overlay my own floating caret on top of it to obscure it. Is there an easy way to get the X-Y coordinates of the caret so that I can move() my custom cursor graphic to that location?
