RE: [flexcoders] Re: has anyone ever disabled selectability for a textArea??

[Dustin Mercer]

Hmm… odd, I tested it before I put it out there.  Are you running the final build of Flex or a Beta build?  Did you copy and paste the entire body of my code, or just that overrided method?  Sorry about being the little late to the game on this one too, I read up why you wanted to do that after I had sent out that last message, made perfect sense :).    From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of jpc14_99 Sent: Tuesday, July 25, 2006 6:20 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: has anyone ever disabled selectability for a textArea??   > Out of curiosity, what is the use case to disable selection of text? Dustin thanks so much for the assistance. In my application I'm displaying text in a textArea that I don't want the user to be able to select. To have the I-beam cursor popup on mouseover just looks wrong. There's no user input going on into the textAreas in question. Unfortunately I'm getting the same error with your code! : "Attempted access of inaccessible property textField through a reference with static type mx.controls:TextArea" It just doesn't want me getting at that textField! __._,_.___ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Web site design development Computer software development Software design and development Macromedia flex Software development best practice YAHOO!
