select text in edit box

[Sumo]

is there an action that can select text from the edit box? I want the user to be able to select the whole text and copy it by pressing a button. I found the copy action, but not a selection action :|

Also I noticed that copy action doesn't work in flash?

The user can select text with his mouse , I think. So if you have the copy action....no problem

EDIT : sorry , I see you meant "select...via a button" : not sure about that. Maybe you could adda hidden list object that would store the content of the edit box... list object data can be "selected"

Use the Edit Box Selection extension from Looki.
