Selection class
The Selection class lets you set and control the text field in which the insertion point is located (that is, the field that has focus).
Partial support for the Selection class was added to support inline text input in Flash Lite 2.1. For Flash Lite, the Selection object is valid only when a device supports inline text entry. If a device does not support inline text entry, and instead relies on an FEP (front-end processor) to enter text, all calls to the Selection object are ignored.
For more information about the Selection class, see the following references:
- Developing Flash Lite 2.x and 3.0 Applications
- Chapter 2, "ActionScript Classes," in Flash Lite 2.x and 3.0 ActionScript Language Reference
