TextArea replacement (data in /data out)

programming flash
1

Hi all, I was wondering if someone can point me in the right direction.

I’m working on building a flash spell checker/RTE as a replacement for a HTML Textarea in some user submission forms on a site I am working on.

While I have the spell checking the text formatting working within the flash, I’m stuck at the part with the data interacting between the flash and the html.

Is it possible to submit a flash textarea within a HTML form? I have seen instances of this in some other textarea replacement scripts for example;

This is pretty much what I’m after, however my knowledge of flash doesn’t go quite this deep.

Could someone be so kind as to point me in the right direction to do the following

  1. Either pass the data from the flash to a hidden field to submit with the rest of the form - or simply submit the data with the html form

  2. load in the data to the flash text area when the page loads (editing a profile for example)

Thanks very much
