This is a feature. When a UIComponent is added flex executes the styles to
make sure it look correct. The specific code is validateNow() in the
UITextField.
You could fix this using subclassing but this is probably a pain and more
trouble than it's worth in your situation.
I think you want to create a variable in your app and then set the
RTE.htmlText property to it before the RTE is removed, and then when the RTE
is added set the RTE.htmlText property to that variable. I'm not an expert
on States, but my guess is it looks something like this:
<mx:states>
<mx:State name="state1" >
<mx:RemoveChild target="{button1}"/>
<mx:SetProperty target="{richTextEditorExample}" name="htmlText"
value="{htmlCache}" />
</mx:State>
<mx:State name="state2">
<mx:SetProperty name="htmlCache" value="{
richTextEditorExample.htmlText}" />
<mx:RemoveChild target="{richTextEditorExample}"/>
<mx:RemoveChild target="{button2}"/>
</mx:State>
</mx:states>
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
public var htmlCache:String = exampleModel.exampleText;
]]>
</mx:Script>

You are right, if I set it to fontWeight bold then the formatting starts
getting change to bold...
Is this a bug or a feature? Is there any way to avoid this behaviour?
Thanks.
