Description

There are several issues when using the new ScrollableStageText class inside a Flex component (through the new Scrolling skins):

• When focusing a TextInput (guess a TextArea as well), a softKeyboardDeactivate event is dispatched, at least on iOS.
• enabled = false doesn't work, this is because of the keepSoftKeyboardActive function, adding a hiddenFocusStageText.editable = _editable; line before hiddenFocusStageText.assignFocus(); works.
• Scrolling inside a TextArea component doesn't work when editable is false. This is a real burden in some cases... I guess it's either because of keepSoftKeyboardActive or because of the swap between the proxy image and the StageText instance. Any further help on this issue would be really welcome.
