Is there anyway to use emoticons in a dynamic textfield...
eg i write : ) --> and get this :).....
so it should recognize ": )" and link it to a smiley gif/jpg( dynamicaly loaded perhaps)....

damn in my head it's so not confusing whereas here it is:(....


hope u understand it tho

would anyone know how to do this?

This is what seen last few days at the FlashComm mailing list by Scott Richter...
