So… what am I doing wrong here? Or is the TextArea CHANGE event the same as the TextField CHANGE event (i.e., only triggered when a user changes the text, not AS)?
Here’s a brief explanation of what I’m trying here:
FLVPlayback component streaming audio (don’t ask)
FLVPlaybackCaptioning component sending caption data (from an XML) to a TextArea component.
The TextArea has the following set on it:
capBox.editable = false;
capBox.enabled = true;
capBox.horizontalScrollPolicy = "OFF";
capBox.verticalScrollPolicy = "AUTO";
capBox.wordWrap = true;
capBox.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, blahblah);
but blahblah(event:Event) never gets called; nor does the scrollbar ever activate (or even become visible) unless I fill the TextArea initially with a long htmlText string.
In that case, the scrollbar works properly until the TextArea receives a short caption, then it’ll disable the scrollbar and it never activates again.
For now I’ve reverted to using an Event.ENTER_FRAME on a regular old TextField and checking the textHeight… which is clumsy as heck, but works.
