RE: [flexcoders] How to make FTE text selectable and editable?

I think you'll have to use TLF or write your own.  The whole point of FTE is to 
put text on the screen without each text instance needing to carry the 
capabilities of selection and interaction.

Subject: [flexcoders] How to make FTE text selectable and editable?





I have this program (Flash Player 10):

var elementFormat:ElementFormat = new ElementFormat();
elementFormat.fontSize = 48;
var textElement:TextElement = new TextElement("Hello,
world", elementFormat)
var textBlock:TextBlock = new TextBlock(textElement);
var textLine:TextLine = textBlock.createTextLine();
textLine.y = textLine.ascent;
addChild(textLine);

How do I make the text selectable and editable?

(Note: I'm not using the Text Layout Framework.)
