Doesn’t work for me. I set the selection color to red, but the text gets red itself.

there has a bug . If add a blurFilter(0,0) to textField for fadeIn/fadeOut.

It don’t work well with this.

filters=[new BlurFilter(0,0)]

Hi!

Thanks for this useful class.

I noticed a limitation: when the sprite containing the textfield is cacheAsBitmap, the coloring doesn’t work.

Any chance it could be done for cached DisplayObjects?

Hi everyone,
I suggest only one little modification (sorry for my bad english), in order to be able to easly reset the color transform of a textfield. (For exemple when a same textField is use on both black and white background)

I added a little function in the class:

public static function resetColorTransform( field:TextField ):void
{
var colorTrans:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
}
Thank you for all !

For anybody looking to control the selection background color AND the selection text color, this class is not adequate. Use this instead: http://labs.hellokeita.com/2008/03/13/textfield-selection-color/
