To do that, you sublcass TextArea and set alwaysShowSelection=true on the underlying textfield.

No, what I want is for the selection to always show up in a TextArea, even when the selection has moved onto another control. Specifically, I have another control, which can popup in certain situations, to allow the user to configure the selected text. However, when the popup appears, it gains the focus, removes it from the initial TextArea, and the user can no longer see what text they had selected.

Mark, Just to clarify when you say 'focus', do you mean that you want the users cursor to always be in a specific form item? Are you looking for a Flex equivalent of the following javascript?: onblur="this.focus()" so that the cursor stays in the specific form input? --- In [email protected] <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "Mark Ingram" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, how can I stop a text area from losing focus?
