> Out of curiosity, what is the use case to disable selection of text? Dustin thanks so much for the assistance. In my application I'm displaying text in a textArea that I don't want the user to be able to select. To have the I-beam cursor popup on mouseover just looks wrong. There's no user input going on into the textAreas in question.
Unfortunately I'm getting the same error with your code! : "Attempted access of inaccessible property textField through a reference with static type mx.controls:TextArea" It just doesn't want me getting at that textField! ------------------------ Yahoo!
