I am trying to extend the TextInput class and one thing I would like to do is check the current value of the textAlign attribute, and change it if needed.
I access the other attributes that I need using the syntax this.attributeName such as this.maxChars, I cannot, however access this.textAlign. The compiler barfs with error 1119 Access of possibly undefined property... It also doesn't appear in the intellisense for the "this" keyword in my extended class. It does appear in the intellisense for the <mx:TextInput> tag. Any ideas? Paul
