copied!<p>If all you want to do is insert a tab into your text when the user presses the tab key, there's a better way to do it (and I hope it will solve your undo issue at the same time).</p> <p>You'll have to access the TextArea's model - the <a href="http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flashx/textLayout/elements/TextFlow.html" rel="nofollow">TextFlow</a> object - and tinker with its configuration. The textflow <a href="http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flashx/textLayout/elements/Configuration.html" rel="nofollow">Configuration</a> class has a property called '<a href="http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flashx/textLayout/elements/Configuration.html#manageTabKey" rel="nofollow">manageTabKey</a>' which defaults to 'false'. If you set it to 'true' it will do what I think you're trying to do for you, i.e. when the user hits the tab key, insert a tab character instead of putting the focus on the next focusable element.</p> <pre><code>var textFlow:TextFlow = taData.textFlow; var config:Configuration = Configuration(textFlow.configuration); config.manageTabKey = true; </code></pre> <p>The cast to Configuration is necessary, because textFlow.configuration returns an IConfiguration interface that has no setter method for manageTabKey.</p> <p>Additionally, you could even set the width of your tabs by using the '<a href="http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flashx/textLayout/elements/FlowElement.html#tabStops" rel="nofollow">tabStops</a>' property.</p> <pre><code>textFlow.tabStops = "25 50 75 100"; </code></pre> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> I just noticed that you set 'focusEnabled' to false. This will also no longer be necessary.</p>
