Now that some time's gone by, what is the best way in Flex 4 to get the coordinates of a specific character? I would like to highlight keywords in a RichEditableText component - very much like this example: http://flexdevtips.blogspot.com/2010/05/highlight-scrollbar-track.html (view source enabled)
Another way would be to dynamical create <s:span>'s with their own "highlight" style when you encounter a keyword. What's a nice clean Flex 4 way to highlight words in a text?
