Weird). this will put the toolbar above the textArea

var displayObj:DisplayObject = mainrteText.toolbar;
rte.toolbar.parent.removeChild(displayObj);
rte.addChildAt(displayObj, 0);

its a weird roundabout way of doing it but was the only way i could work out how to target the ControlBar (it has no id and doesnt seem to be targettable directly through the DisplayList. Weird).

Cant work out how to place it above the text Area. you can style the control bar with setStyle(prop:String, value) – where prop is one of numerous styles in the componenet’s API.

I'm deadly curious to find out if it's possible to do two other things with the Rich Text Editor component: 1) Can the control bar buttons etc be skinned and/or customized? 2) Can the control bar positioned anywhere in the RTE design area? Eg., be positioned above the text area sitting right on the top edge with zero-clearence. tonejac deluxe This is cool.
