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

[David Temkin]

The bad news is that this is a Flash Player bug. It is only present in 
non-ActiveX (non-IE) browsers. Adobe is definitely aware of it, and (we 
hope) working toward resolution in a future player.

We don't know of any workaround that works with Flash 8 APIs. When Flash 
9 support is complete, it may be possible to work around it. Or not. :-(

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?
