Making a text MC non-selectable?

I’ve got a piece of text that I am using as movieclip to add some onRollOver states to it…but I need to make the text non-selectable…so when a user passes their mouse over it…the cursor does not change to the text bar…as when this happens I loose the RollOver state…

How can this be done.

Much thanks…

theres a button in the properties panel that does this. Select the text and look for it. The button should look like [Ab] with the b selected.

Oh, should have been more specific…I am using the createEmptyMovieClip method to establish the text field…

you mean createTextField?

yes…I’m creating an empty mc then creating a textfield in it…

textfieldInstanceName.selectable = false;

ahhh…lovely!

Thanks senocular!
