UILoader restricting AS2

[henbjo]

Hello. I've tried to search around and checked the AS3 language reference, but haven't found what I'm looking for.

So, my problem is that I have an AS2 email form which I'm not keen on rewriting to AS3 right now, that uses an editable TextArea as input field for the body of the email. But when I load this movie in an AS3 movie using an UILoader component, the TextArea isn't editable, nor selectable. When I test the form alone it's working like a charm.

Are there any known security restrictions to the AS2 TextArea component in AS3 movies that messes it up, and if so, are there any workarounds?

All help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

There are problems loading AS2 movies with components into AS3 movies. The movies can crash and the AS2 components are not properly working. You have three choices:
1. Stay completely in AS2,
2. Develop all newly in AS3 or
3. Change any component to a non UIcomponent clip

The problem has not been resolved by Adobe yet. I have informed them half a year ago about that.
