[Laszlo-dev] trying to work around textfield keymapping problem when wmode="transparent"

[Candide Kemmler]

Hi,

You are probably aware of this very annoying bug of the flash player: when
wmode is set to "transparent", text fields are wrongly mapped for non-US
keyboards.
To fix it, I thought I could try to replace the text showing in the field on
the fly. I have tried to setText, clearText, addText, etc but all these
reset the caret position to the first character. My last hope is to access
the underlying flash API. I have seen indeed that the text field API for
flash 9 features a replaceText method. I just hope it already existed in AS2
and that it's accessible from OL.

Can you please help or otherwise give me some advice on ways to resolve this
issue?

Candide
