[jira] [Comment Edited] (FLEX-34181) No Prompt in TextInput when
layoutDirection set to RTL (Mobile)
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-34181?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13954641#comment-13954641 ]

-------------------------------------------------------------------
This is because TextInput mobile skin uses StyleableTextField which cannot be used with RTL alphabets (eg. Hebrew and Arabic).
The workaround is to create a custom skin that overrides createPromptDisplay to use spark Label instead (attached sample file [^RTLStageTextInputSkin.as]).
spark Label is less performant on mobile that StyleableTextField, but this shouldn't be an issue if there are not too many prompt text to display.
