TextArea selectable/anti-alias

programming flash

I now officially hate the textArea component but that’s not the point now. A couple of questions:

1. How to make the textArea text NOT selectable
it is NOT a textField so don’t post .selectable = false, that doesn’t work.

**2. How to make it anti-alias decently. Right now it doesn’t look that smooth.

**I use this code:


var verdanaFont:Font = new Verdana();
            
var textFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
textFormat.font = verdanaFont.fontName;
textFormat.size = 12;
            
text_txt.setStyle("textFormat", textFormat);
text_txt.setStyle("embedFonts", true);
text_txt.condenseWhite = false;

Verdana is ofcourse in my library with the linkagename set to Verdana.
