Selection - MACROMEDIA FLASH 8-ACTIONSCRIPT 2.0 LANGUAGE Reference

Note that this property may be examined from a SWF file of any version, but is only
supported in Flash Player 8 or greater. This unusual arrangement means that you can examine
this property, for example, from a version 7 SWF file playing in Flash Player 8. This all-

publish time whether this property will be supported or not at playback time. Thus, in a SWF

public class Selection
extends Object
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). Selection-span indexes are zero-based (for example,
the first position is 0, the second position is 1, and so on).
There is no constructor function for the Selection class, because there can be only one
currently focused field at a time.
