Hi Maxime,
Sure ... this code is ballshoot ;) It's just a personal Helper-class
because we are trying to avoid writing editable="false" everywhere:
<s:RichEditableText
text="SELECT ME"
editable="false"
/>
... and, for some reasons, this RichSelectableText
behaviour is needed fairly often in these projects :(
