From: forums.macromedia.com on 18 Apr 2008 12:20 Hellow folks, I looked around in ShowMe files for help but couldn't find what i really need. I don't know how to do this: a field that has a text already (for example "bobby123"), and I want the user to use the backspace key to delete the entry and replace it with "bobby789". how can i program that? a sample code will be appreciated. thanks in advance, Omar
From: Erik L. **Community Expert** on 18 Apr 2008 14:22 Look at the PresetEntry function. You can use that to pre-fill a text-entry field. Doing that also pre-selects (highlights) the text, so if the user starts typing, all the text is replaced. To put the cursor at the end of that text, look at the PressKey function. Note that when text is highlighted in any given text field and you press the left arrow key, the text is unhighlighted and the cursor jumps to the end...

From: Amy Blankenship on 18 Apr 2008 19:06 I think what Erik meant is that if you use the PressKey function to press the _right_ arrow key the cursor will jump to the end of the field. If you use the leftarrow key, it will jump to the beginning of the field.

Thanks Amy. I was looking at my keyboard upside down... ;-) Omar, either method will get rid of the black highlight.
