I want to show the text in selectable mode

[Bhanu Prakash]

Hi all,
I am using dynamic text box in my task.
Whenever I clicked on a button to change the content in the dynamic text box, the dynamic text box is focusing. Here comes my problem.
I want to show the text in selectable mode. Means entire text in the dynamic text box should be selected.
I am unable to do that.

Please help me.
Its very very urgent.

Why did you start a new thread instead of using the old one?
Your syntax is totally wrong, if you look at the link in my other post you can try using farafiros example.

Background can be done like:

_root.myText_txt.background=true;
_root.myText_txt.backgroundColor="0xFF0000";


which you could have found in your actionscript dictionary under textfield.

Obviously you need to replace "myText_txt" with the instance name of YOUR textfield
:rolleyes:
