Hi Jagan, You can check the api of the components here:http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/spark/components/RichEditableText.html RichEditableText is a low-level UIComponent for displaying, scrolling, selecting, and editing richly-formatted text.The rich text can contain clickable hyperlinks and inline graphics that are either embedded or loaded from URLs.RichEditableText does not have scrollbars, but it implements the IViewport interface for programmatic scrolling so that it can be controlled by a Scroller, which does provide scrollbars. It also supports vertical scrolling with the mouse wheel.It does not include any user interface for changing the formatting of the text. But it offers APIs which can do this programmatically; these make it possible, for example, for you to create a Bold button that makes the selected text bold......
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/spark/components/RichText.html RichText is a low-level UIComponent that can display one or more lines of richly-formatted text and embedded images.For performance reasons, it does not support scrolling, selection, editing, clickable hyperlinks, or images loaded from URLs. If you need those capabilities, please see the RichEditableText class. http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/spark/components/Label.html Label is a low-level UIComponent that can render one or more lines of uniformly-formatted text. The text to be displayed is determined by the text property inherited from TextBase. The formatting of the text is specified by the element's CSS styles, such as fontFamily and fontSize.Label uses of the Flash Text Engine (FTE) in Flash Player to provide high-quality international typography. Because Label is fast and lightweight, it is especially suitable for use cases that involve rendering many small pieces of non-interactive text, such as item renderers and labels in Button skins. The order of the links is from the "big mama" to the light weight component. So is always a decision of performance vs api. We have to adjust to the needs of the system.In the last years i am working in web-to-print and only for edit i use the *RichEditableText* to present the text the other components are more suitable. Just when the user click on the text then the system switch to another component that permit the user to scroll, edit, select and etc... About your question, i think IMHO that is a false question. When we want/need to create a custom component that extends the *RichEditableText * and implements the *IDisplayText *, you can make it. Just create a class the extend that class and implement that interface. By language specification you can implement N interfaces that suits your needs while extending then you can only extend one class. Just my 2 cts.
