AS3 - Highlighted text color

Does F开发者_开发知识库lash auto set the color of highlighted text? For some reason it is some kind of blue. How can I change it to white for example?

Thanks.

This can't be done using pure ActionScript unless you want to try to write your own implementation of TextField, which I can only imagine would be a nightmare.

Flex allows you to set styles for selected text colors, which I'm guessing is what is being used in the screenshot you posted. Here's a blog entry on how to do it using Flex 4:
