TextField Selection Color
Well, I just made a class to change the textField selection color.
It manipulates the ColorMatrixFilter to change the colors of the unselected text, selection background and selected text.
The source is in my SVN, http://code.hellokeita.in/public/trunk/as3/br/hellokeita/utils/TextFieldColor.as
And the usage is really simple too.
var textColor:uint = 0xff0000; // unselected text color
var selectionColor:uint = 0×00ff00; // selected background color
var selectedColor:uint = 0×0000ff; // selected text color
var selectionColor:uint = 0×00ff00; // selected background color
var selectedColor:uint = 0×0000ff; // selected text color
var tf:TextField = new TextField();
addChild(tf);
var tfc:TextFieldColor = new TextFieldColor(tf, textColor, selectionColor, selectedColor);
//…
// Or Also
//…
tfc.textColor = textColor;
tfc.selectionColor = selectionColor;
tfc.selectedColor = selectedColor;

Very nice. Would that be possible to use it with HTML textfield, i.e. different colour text?
