In actionscript, you can't use {} to bind. You have to use
ChangeWatcher and/or other.mx.binding classes.
However, I usually just assign when the result from the server comes in
and skip binding altogether.

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Flex Text Selection Problem...
Corey,
There are some potential workarounds which Ive seen, all using similar
techniques to the one found here -
http://labs.hellokeita.com/2008/03/13/textfield-selection-color/
<http://labs.hellokeita.com/2008/03/13/textfield-selection-color/>
It's not ideal by any means and won't work for all situations, but
depending on what you need, it may be of use.
Cheers
toby
