Say if you have 10 lines of text, you want to highlight only 3 lines (line 2,3,4) only, how do you do that? Please note that I would like to high light the whole back ground for entire line (not just text alone). How to set background color for some selected lines on a Rich Text Area.

I filed this in the Flex bug base as https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-19453 and attached a workaround. Basically, you'll need to re-set the <code>htmlText</code> property after calling the <code>setStyle()</code> method: <pre class="code"> private function btn_click(evt:ColorPickerEvent):void { var formattedText:String = richTextEditor.htmlText; richTextEditor.textArea.setStyle("backgroundColor", evt.color); // Workaround... richTextEditor.htmlText = formattedText; } </pre> Peter Alexander,

Try to set some text style like color, size etc and change background color. It jumps to default values. I found that it works incorrect.
