I'd give that an 8 out of 10 on the difficulty scale. 5 if you don't care about tabbing and focus. Someone on this list may have done something like this already, however. IMHO, you'd be better off add a TextInput to the body of RTE just for the subject line. The source for RTE is in mxml, so you can copy and modify it to add other things. -Alex

I want to extend the rich text editor so that I can make the title editable. The goal is to set the subject of the message/note to the title of the text editor. However, someone might like to change that. It would be best if I could just double click on it and have it become editable. I would then want to submit the two values to update the message body and the message subject in the database. I know that I could simply put a text input control above the rich text editor and a button below. however, I think it might look a lot nicer if it looked as it were a cohesive component. I've never done a custom compent before and in researching I haven't found anything that addresses this specific issue.
