</mx:Application>


lets say when user enters an application and he wants his text of red
color and he selects red from color picker then i want to set the
color in text format as red and same for every other feature of text
format.

how to implement defaultTextFormat in this?

i want a same toolbar as MS-Excel's toolbar..
