Good form would tell you to extend the TextArea to get access to the
UITextField which i believe has a selectable property.  Bad form would tell
you to use mx_internal::getTextField().selectable.

you can't use Text verses TextArea?

You could make them disabled, but change the disabled styles so it does
not look quite so disabled. Or trap the click event and stop the user
action at that point.

Yes, but that doesn't stop the user from selecting the text (dragging 
mouse over and highlighting)... Is there an easy way to prevent that? 
(Other than disabling the component)

 Hi there,
 
 
 
 How do I prevent the user from selecting text in a text area 
component?
 
 
 I noticed that it does not have a selectable property and does not
 derive from the Text object either.
