This problem has been stuck in my head for awhile. Its an on screen keyboard for a touch screen kiosk.

The text is easy enough.

I have a dynamic text box.

The on screen keys are scripted like this

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]a\_btn.onPress = function(){  
my\_txt.text = my\_txt.text + “a”;  
}[/COLOR]

okay that’s fine but how am I going to do a delete key? Strings? Never worked with strings. I’ve been playing with the [COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]String.slice()[/COLOR] method but no luck.
