Thanks of all of you that you provide the solution/answer

Both MX and Spark TextAreas supports editable and selectable properties. The first one prevent user to change text, the second - to select it:

<mx:TextArea editable="false" selectable="false"
    text="Sample Text"/>

<s:TextArea editable="false" selectable="false"
    text="Sample Text"/>

I am not sure if I understand your problem, but it sounds like it could be the Safari 5.1 / Flash Debug player bug. Try switching to another browser when debugging/testing your project. If you get the same behaviour, forget everything I just said.

"I also don't think this was intentional at all.  I think it was just a bit careless (Apple pushing out Safari 5.1 before it being thoroughly tested - the flash problem is only one of several issues I've noted with the new browser.  Very dissapointing.)."

If you're talking about MX TextArea you can disable component:

myTextArea.enabled = false;

If you're using Spark TextArea you can use editable property.
