Is the CSS support in flash MX04 (Pro) only “one-way”?

Can flash only SHOW css-formatted content in a textfield and NOT EDIT the css-formatted content directly in the textfield after a stylesheet has been applied to it? The textfield then seems to get locked for editing.

So far I’ve not been able to do this, it only seems to work “one-way” (see also my other threads in this forum about this). I’ve also gone through all the manuals, the net etc and not found an answer yet.

So, flashfriends - can flash do this or not?
