Add your FocuseEvent.FOCUS_OUT event to the textArea property (more like - child) of your RichTextEditor. Given a RichTextEditor id of "rte" it'd look like this in AS3:
rte.textArea.addEventListener(FocusEvent.FOCUS_OUT, onFocusOut); function onFocusOut(event:FocusEvent):void { // add code here } Hope this helps! -Nathan D. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Derrick Anderson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, so I noticed that the RTE does not have a focusOut event that it > dispatches.
