I am using actionsript 3 and flex 3.5. Is there any way to change the font color of a part of text in TextArea control without using "htmlText" property?
For example I have a string "dog, cat, fish". I want to change the color of "cat" word to red.
here is my code;
var requestObj: URLRequest = new URLRequest("jukebox.swf");var loaderObj: Loader = new Loader();addChild(loaderObj);loaderObj.load(requestObj);
thumbnails_tl.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, thumbnailClicked);
function thumbnailClicked(event:Event):void { mineral_ta.text = event.target.selectedItem.data;}
thumbnails_tl.addItem({label:"Akeboshi", source:"thumbnails/Akeboshi.jpg",data:"Yellow Moon

View 2 RepliesTake a look at this demo, how do they accomplish the Inline Changes feature? To me it looks like they are floating a movieclip over the textarea. What I can't figure out is how they anchored the movieclip to stay in the correct position. If you type something before the movieclip it moves position along with the text, the movieclips even move to the next line when the text word wraps. Does anyone have an idea?

I am attempting to dynamically change the color of a subset/portion of text in a Spark TextArea control. Using the MX-based TextArea, I could leverage the mx.controls.textClasses.TextRange type and change the color directly as follows:
TextRange tr = new TextRange(theTextAreaControl, false, beginIndex, endIndex);
tr.color = somePredefindColor;
Input Parameters to TextRange constructor:
1st argument: The TextArea control that will provide access to the underlying textField property
2nd argument: Indicates the TextRange will not modify the content of the TextArea
3rd argument: The beginning index position in the TextArea text string
4th argument: The ending index position in the TextArea text string
How would I go about doing this for a Spark-based TextArea control? I am looking to dynamically change the font color for a range of text, not just the entire TextArea AND I cannot statically specify the font color. The problem I run into when trying to re-use the TextRange type is that the 1st argument is expected to provide the textField property, which is currently not on the Spark-based TextArea control. I thought about extending the Spark-based TextArea control to provide this accessor property but that seems like overkill and is probably not the best approach.
