I'm not really familiar with ANE development but I will keep your
suggestion in mind. But is it not possible to display and edit HTML on
mobile? This looks like a big shortcoming to me. Surely there has to be an
option to raise the keyboard and proxy the key events to a RichEditableText
component?

I don't want to end up using an ANE or a webview with JS based HTML editor
if I can avoid it. I'm just a bit stunned that AIR is missing HTML
functionalities for textarea's on mobile. I am willing to sacrifice
performance if anyone has a way or workaround to get this done.
