Not sure if this helps, but I use this and it works at runtime.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:RichTextEditor xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; width="100%"
height="100%" initialize="init()">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import flash.display.DisplayObject;
public function init():void {
var displayObj:DisplayObject = this.toolbar;
this.toolbar.parent.removeChild(displayObj);
this.addChildAt(displayObj, 0);
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
</mx:RichTextEditor>

Subject: [flexcoders] Flex 3 RichTextEditor - move controlbar to top
I want to move the controlbar of the RichTextEditor above the TextArea instead
of the default of being below the TextArea.
I've been playing around with it as follows but I have a feeling I should not
do this in the updateDisplayList method.
Should I do it in the initialize method?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:RichTextEditor xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";>
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.controls.TextArea;
import mx.core.UIComponent;
override protected function updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number,
unscaledHeight:Number):void{
var txt:TextArea = TextArea(super.removeChild(textArea));
var cb:DisplayObject = DisplayObject(super.removeChild(this.controlBar as
DisplayObject));
super.addChild(cb);
super.addChild(new TextArea());
super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
</mx:RichTextEditor>
This doesn't work either:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:RichTextEditor xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
creationComplete="setupUI();">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.controls.TextArea;
import mx.core.UIComponent;
private function setupUI():void{
var taIndex:uint;
var cbIndex:uint;
for(var a:uint=0;a<this.rawChildren.numChildren;a++){
trace(this.rawChildren.getChildAt(a));
if(a==2){
var disObj:DisplayObject = this.rawChildren.removeChildAt(a);
this.rawChildren.addChildAt(disObj, 1);
}
}
trace("**************************");
for(var b:uint=0;b<this.rawChildren.numChildren;b++){
trace(this.rawChildren.getChildAt(b));
}
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
</mx:RichTextEditor>
