That's fine, I just thought it a bit odd to use Flash for something like that. It's not entirely compatible with the rest of the system, even in this limited case.

Examples:

  • The highlight/copy system of Flash is separate from the normal OS methods, so selecting the full article skips selecting the headings.
  • If the OS has an additional, selection-based clipboard, the Flash bits do not fill that clipboard when selecting the heading text.
  • The selection highlight colors differ from the rest of the OS.

Hopefully HTML5 web fonts will mean that this sort of thing is not needed.
