Re: Setting the Text Cursor

Smells like a bug to me. I made a bare bones movie to test it out - the following button behavior works if sprite(1) contains an editable field, but not if it contains an editable text member: on mouseUp me _movie.keyboardFocusSprite = sprite(1) _movie.selStart = 3 _movie.selEnd = 3 put

Dopey me. I am working with text members. Thanks Tom.I keep forgetting the selection thing more times than I care to, uh, er, remember. David, Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Using 'the selStart' and 'the selEnd' is for editable fields only, if this is editable text then use the member's se

Bit of background which I should have mentioned. My XML file contains a list of buttons which I want to create on the stage. Each button (where button=flash object!) will call a specific callback and perform some function. Each button is actually some text and 2 inner buttons, the button name an

Hi Valentin, thank you! The fix works fine. By the way: do you know, where I find a list of all keycodes? @ Thomas: Yes, it seems that the BuddyApi Messagebox causes the problem. Thank you too. But what is your different way, you mentioned? Regards Michael [To remove yourself from this list,
