title: AS3 Text Input accents
body: <p>I create an AS3 TextField set to Input mode dynamically through code, but when the user tries to input some special characters (eg. á à é è í ì ó ò ú ù ç) they simply do not appear on the TextInput.</p>
  
  <p>Copying and pasting them to the textfield works, but I'd prefer if the user could directly type them.</p>
  
  <p>Here's a quick test demonstrating this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>package
  {
      import flash.display.Sprite;
      import flash.text.TextField;
      import flash.text.TextFieldType;
  
      public class TextInput extends Sprite
      {
          public function TextInput()
          {
              super();
  
              var t:TextField = new TextField;
              t.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
              addChild(t);
          }
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This creates a textfield where the user can type, but I can't type special characters like à.</p>
  
  <p>Many thanks.</p>
