It does, but TextArea extends Sprite, not TextField. It uses the
UITextField via composition. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) the textField
variable is protected. Additionally, the textField is selectable by
default. You could do:
package
{
import mx.controls.TextArea;
class MyTextArea extends TextArea
{
protected override function createChildren():void
{
super.createChildren();
textField.selectable = false;
}
}
}
And then use <view:MyTextArea /> instead.

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: has anyone ever disabled selectability for a
textArea??
Thanks. That does make the textArea unselectable but unfortunately
it also wipes out my background color and text color. For the life
of me I don't understand why Flex doesn't have a simple selectable
attribute included with textArea.
