Re: [flexcoders] Highlighting Label text characters
Hi Alex, My ItemRenderer is actually a VBox with an Image, Label and TextInput so it is all wired up differently. Still not sure the best way to do this, but maybe adding truncating functionality to a TextField/TextArea would be easier...

I have seen support for this in TextArea and TextField.setSelection(..) and also done with HTML text however I need the truncating feature of the Label. I tried extending Label and providing a highlight( text:String ) function that calls down to the Label internal TextField.setSelection(..) but it is not working...not sure why...

Well, once I can get the text to highlight in the Label, I will need to do the same in the truncated tooltip.

RE: [flexcoders] Highlighting Label text characters
Interesting problem. I think I might add truncate functionality to a text-based itemRenderer rather than add highlighting to Label. I haven't done either, so take that into account.

A Label as a renderer will be trying to reset its .text from the dataprovider data unless you've wired it up differently.
