Question

Need to know which event triggered after text selection done in Apple iPad. It works in desktop.

protected function txtEditor_mouseUpHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
        {   
            if(txtEditor.selectionAnchorPosition != txtEditor.selectionActivePosition){
                showNoteToolBar(event);
                txtEditor.focusEnabled = true;
                txtEditor.setFocus();
            }
        }

but in iPad and Andriod how to achieve through “Touch Event” ? And also i need how to hide all context menu on Spark TextArea?. Why Touch.End event is not fired after place cursor or selected text operation done on text area ?

In StyleableTextField it never fire any flash events after native menu box appeared(copy,paste and select all). But alternatively we can use RichEditableText instead.RichEditableText support TLF with all component events. RichEditableText TLF doesn’t allow to open Native menu with option like(copy,paste and selectall toolbar).
