Flex 4 Label and Selection

Question

I show data in bright labels. Now I have found that the user cannot select and copy the displayed text. The docs don't show what needs to be done (mx.Label allowed this, but shortcut-shortcut).

So what is the solution? How can I allow users to select and copy data displayed on my screen?

Answer 1

Only:

• RichEditableText
• Textinput
• Textarea

Allow text selection in Flex 4.

Answer 2

Use <mx:Text> instead. It looks like a shortcut, but allows you to copy it.
