Thanks very much for posting this. Very simple solution to a common problem. I’m not very experienced at Flash. Could you elaborate on how it works?

Nice workaround, i had to figure out a solution for that a while back. I came out with something more dirty/slow… Anyway, thanks, added to the toolbox.

This is a nice, simple example! I noticed that when I select text with the mouse, the color of the selection is slightly different from when a select text programmatically (using setSelection). Do you know why that might be?

[...] This guy did a pretty cool and useful thing: changing the color of the text and the highlight bg when the user selects a given portion of text. [...]

Here is a solution when you have a black background and multi-colored text. It works by drawing over the selected text with a semi-transparent color.
