RichSelectableText-Component missing?

[Sebastian Mohr]

Hi,

In a few projects I need the text to be selectable but not editable. 
Therefore, I usually create a RichSelectableText-Component [1]
that should help me achieving this task. Obviously, this approach 
is not optimal because it's extending from RichEditableText to block 
functionality from its superclass. 

What about splitting up the functionality of RichEditableText into 2 
classes? The proposed new inheritance chain could look like this:

        RichEditableText < RichSelectableText < UIComponent

If this proposal is not suitable, would you see a better way?

[1] RichEditableText-Component:

package spark.components
{
        import spark.components.RichEditableText;

        public class RichSelectableText extends RichEditableText
        {
                public function RichSelectableText()
                {
                        super();
                        
                        editable = false;
                }
        }
}
