RE: [Flashcoders] txtNews.selectable = false NOT taking.
He already has (he said that). He doesn't want the user to be able to select the text. Okay, do this: txtNews.label.selectable = false; That's all you need. Nothing else.

Try using the .editable property on the TextArea component, I think that'll accomplish what you desire... Hope this helps...

RE: [Flashcoders] txtNews.selectable = false NOT taking.
Tried that, setting it on the stage, and setting it again in code. Could still select and copy. Thanks for the suggestion.

Miles, Another stab, how about 'dis: txtNews.editable = false; txtNews.enabled = false; That may or may not be of use.

RE: [Flashcoders] txtNews.selectable = false NOT taking.
Glenn (or Dok?), Yeah, may or may not be of use is correct. Once enabled is set to false, selection of the text becomes impossible. It can can still be scrolled, but of course it's turned light gray, and the Page Up / Page Down keys no longer work. Nevertheless, thanks for the suggestion. What I am wondering is if it's possible to dissect the control, so the text portion could have its selectable property set to false. Anyway, it's late and I'm going to bed.
