I'm trying to create a tool where the user can add their own text to a map before printing the map. I was thinking of doing this using a resizable and draggable textarea that the user can put anywhere on the map. Anyone know how to do this? I had a look at this http://flexdevtips.blogspot.com/2010/06/flex-4-spark-resizable-controls.html which looked useful but I couldn't get it to work:
The ArcGIS Viewer for Flex has a draw and measure widget that shows how to add and move text in addition to drawing and editing shapes. That might get you going in the right direction.
