RE: [flexcoders] Flex Text Selection Problem...

In actionscript, you can't use {} to bind.  You have to use
ChangeWatcher and/or other.mx.binding classes.

 

However, I usually just assign when the result from the server comes in
and skip binding altogether.

Corey,

There are some potential workarounds which Ive seen, all using similar
techniques to the one found here -
http://labs.hellokeita.com/2008/03/13/textfield-selection-color/
<http://labs.hellokeita.com/2008/03/13/textfield-selection-color/> 

It's not ideal by any means and won't work for all situations, but
depending on what you need, it may be of use.

Cheers

Unfortunately, FP9 doesn't support setting the text selection color.

Hey,

I'm new to the list and was hoping I could get a little help with a 
problem in flex that is driving me nuts.

Here's the problem - when you have a TextInput control whose background 
color is black and whose text is white, how do you change the color of 
the selected text so that it's distinguishable from text that is not 
selected? I have tried changing every color-related property I could 
find but was not able to change the color of the selection.


http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml
 " 
layout="horizontal" backgroundColor="#00">

TextInput
{
color: #FF;
background-color: #00;
backgroundAlpha: 0.0;
dropShadowEnabled: false;
borderThickness: 2;
borderStyle: solid;
font-size: 18;
}






Corey...
