Method; inserts a string of text. If the optional parameters are not passed, the existing text selection is replaced; if the

var success = fl.getDocumentDOM().setTextString("Hello World!");
The following example inserts “hello” at position 6 of the current text selection:
var pass = fl.getDocumentDOM().setTextString("hello", 6);
The following example inserts “Howdy” starting at position 2 and up to, but not including, position 7 of the current
