Hey, I’m fairly new to AS3 and I’m trying to find a way to make a dynamic textfield where the text isn’t highlightable. I see examples of this all the time in SWF files, but I don’t know if it’s an AS2-only-thing or not :wt:

EDIT: No worries, I found it myself. just a simple “myTextField.selectable = false;” 😃
