TextField getCharBoundaries not giving proper co-ordinates

Question

Hi all,

I'm developing one AS3 application in which I need to add blank editable box between string. I use tag to define blank. The problem I'm having is, getCharBoundries may b not giving proper bounding box for characters. to get boundingBox of word, I use getCharBourndries of First char of word and last char of word and calculate x, y and width of it. but as u see in below image, more characters blank has, last character spills out.

Any Help guys?
