syntax highlighting in text area , flex 4

Question

My application requires users to type some code in the textarea. I wish to provide them the syntax highlighting and the tab interface. I did my homework but couldnt achieve it .

I observe the first tab is always displayed as a space in flex textarea. I wish to solve this problem also, in case the tab interface is successfully provided.

Any references or code help will be great

Thanks a lot

I've been using as3syntaxhighlight which works pretty well, and was the only open source library I could find. I was able to easily add custom keywords, and change coloring.
