Title: Flash Text Input
Hi all,
i want to highlight text in text input component on mouse click. is there any way?
Check the following code it selects the text specified by giving the starting index and ending index. Remember that first you need to set focus , otherwise the selection is not visible.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" minWidth="1024" minHeight="768">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
protected function button1_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
//set the focus to text box
txtBox.setFocus()
//select the text starting from 8 to 15 index
txtBox.setSelection(8,15);
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:TextInput id="txtBox" text=" asad aadaa dadad ada das dadad asd a">
</mx:TextInput>
<mx:Button label=" Click to select Text" mouseUp="button1_clickHandler(event)" x="400">
</mx:Button>
</mx:Application>
