Question

I am using a button to input text from a text input and displaying it in a text area using following code.

public function sendMessage():void
{
    mytextarea.text = textinput.text;
    textinput.text = "";
}

The problem I am facing is , whenever I add new line or others it replaces the previous text, I want the previous text in text area to stay there.

Any hints how to do that?

Answer 1

Instead of setting the text, append new text with the previous texts.

mytextarea.text += textinput.text;
