This may not be a Flex/Apache issue, but just wanted to see if anyone has
been successful with text on Air mobile.

The issue basically revolves around the native text input. It is rendered
on top of the display list, and it does not scroll within its parent
scroller. So dropdowns and such that render on top of it do not hide it,
and if the user scrolls the text stay in place.  There are some more
details here:

Some have suggested using the older  spark.mobile.TextInputSkin but with
Air 3.8 and iOS7 on iPad , the workaround suggested is not an option. It
seems to be even more problematic, as you type it selects what you have
typed so you cannot effectively type anything without erasing what was
there.

A comment from an Adobe person here suggests the issue with the older
TextinpustSkin is a Flex SDK issue.

Has anyone run into this, if so, been able to handle it gracefully?
