instances to your SWF file. Then add the following ActionScript to your AS or FLA file.
var focus_ta:mx.controls.TextArea;
my_mc.onRelease = function() {};
my_btn.onRelease = function() {};
var keyListener:Object = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {
if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)) {
focus_ta.text = Selection.getFocus()+newline+focus_ta.text;

Notified when the input focus changes. To use this listener, you must create a listener object.
You can then define a function for this listener and use Selection.addListener() to register the
listener with the Selection object, as in the following code:
var someListener:Object = new Object();
someListener.onSetFocus = function () {
// statements
}
Selection.addListener(someListener);
Listeners enable different pieces of code to cooperate because multiple listeners can receive
notification about a single event.
