Hi,

I looked everywhere and couldn’t find. Is there a way to convert the display of the TextInput to upper case?

Like this:

type h ===\> displays H  
type e ===\> displays HE  
type l ===\> displays HEL  
type l ===\> displays HELL  
type o ===\> displays HELLO

I tried using the following, it traces but it doesn’t display ☹

Thanks!!

```auto

keyListener = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyUp = function() {
    //
    var myText = mainTXT.text;
    myText.toUpperCase();
trace(myText.toUpperCase());
}

```
