Thanks for the reply guys, I'm sure I will find something that is satifactory in the end. I copy and paste things from the web and from text messages and from Facebook and many other apps all of the time, so I just figured it would be naturally included in most text components. Guess not.
Erik, your thought crossed my mind as well, and is probably the approach I will take if I get to feeling that ambitious. I have over a hundred labels that I would be interested in modifying, and that could entail a lot of work that I was not prepared for. But a copy popup would probably do the trick just fine. pol2095, using mx Labels popped up on my radar as well and I am interested in seeing if that might work. For some reason, in the mobile project that I created, I don't seem to have access to the mx library, so I will have to look for the way to force my mobile app to include it. If it is anything like RichEditableText, the result might be disappointing. I wanted a way to highlight the text and to have handlebars to drag and select whatever text that you might need, like native apps do. If mx Labels will not allow this, I don't think it will work for me. -- Sent from: http://apache-flex-users.2333346.n4.nabble.com/
