Spark textarea intercept each character

I need to run some code every time a user changes a text in TextArea
without leaving the control. Which event should I listen to?

Thanks

The docs say that TEXT_INPUT is "Dispatched when a keystroke is about to be
input to the component. "   That would be before the 'change' event, right?

It fires but the text is null.

Pretty sure you want TextOperationEvent.CHANGE.

Even though it's from Ad*be, the docs are still relevant:

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/spark/components/TextInput.html#eventSummary

Check there for the relevant events of the Spark TextInput control

or even:

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/spark/components/supportClasses/SkinnableTextBase.html#event:textInput

keyUp and keyDown are a bit low level.  You could use them as well
depending on what you are doing.

"change" would be a good one to listen to.
