Re: [flexcoders] Re: How do I prevent the user from selecting text in a text area component?
Good form would tell you to extend the TextArea to get access to the UITextField which i believe has a selectable property. Bad form would tell you to use mx_internal::getTextField().selectable. - Dan On 2/28/07, Paul DeCoursey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: If you don't need any other mouseEvents you could try setting mouseEnabled to false.

Yes, that was my thread (I had the same problem) and it will solve your problem. When I said I said Jester's code wasn't working I was still using Flex 2 Beta. When I moved to the final version it worked fine.

If you don't need any other mouseEvents you could try setting mouseEnabled to false. Haven't tried it so I don't know. Any reason you can't use Text verses TextArea?
RE: [flexcoders] Re: How do I prevent the user from selecting text in a text area component?
You could make them disabled, but change the disabled styles so it does not look quite so "disabled". Or trap the click event and stop the user action at that point.

Yes, but that doesn't stop the user from selecting the text (dragging mouse over and highlighting)... Is there an easy way to prevent that?
