[FLEX-25528] TextAreaAutomationImpl assumes same internal textField throughout lifecycle of TextArea

• Type: Bug
• Status: Open
• Priority: Major
• Resolution: Unresolved
• Affects Version/s: Adobe Flex SDK 3.2 (Release)
• Component/s: mx: TextArea
• Environment: Affected OS(s): All OS Platforms; Language Found: English

Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a TextArea and have a function that calls the commitProperties method of the TextArea (Line 1788) to destroy/create a new internal TextField.
2. Try to record using an automation Tool.

Actual Results:
Nothing gets recorded since the TextField that the delegate was instantiated with no longer is the textField inside the TextArea. (Method componentInitialized in TextAreaAutomationImpl).

Expected Results:
If the internal TextField is destroyed, the delegate should listen and create a new TextFieldAutomationHelper associated with the next TextField

Workaround (if any):
Create a custom compopnent that extends TextArea and use it. Then extend the Adobe delegate and listens for the TextField destroyed/created.
