Cheers

here’s the fix

var begin:int = inputValue.lastIndexOf(” “,index);
if (begin >= 0) {
inputValue = inputValue.substr(begin + 1);
}else if(begin == -1){ // if we can’t find a word then check the first Char in the paragraph
begin = _txt.getFirstCharInParagraph(index);
inputValue = inputValue.substr(begin);
}

cheers

updated code:

// get vals for drawing highlight
var x1:int = rect1.x – _txt.scrollH;

// take the horizontal scroll into account
var x2:int = (rect2.x + rect2.width – _txt.scrollH);
var y1:int = rect1.y + metrics.ascent + 2;

// if half the word is outside of the textfield cause of scroll only draw what is visible
var w:Number = Math.max(0,Math.min((x2 – x1), _txt.width – x1))

haven’t tried it for a while but should still work.

Trying to get your code to work but I get the following two errors. Is there an updated version of the source? Thanks for your help.
