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... Does anyone know how I can achieve this? Any help much appreciated, Greg
