title: Terminal emulation in Flex
body: <p>I need to do some emulation of some old DOS or mainframe terminals in Flex. Something like the image below for example.</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/qFtvP.png" alt="alt text"></p>
  
  <p>The different coloured text is easy enough, but the ability to do different background colours, such as the yellow background is beyond the capabilities of the standard Flash text.</p>
  
  <p>I may also need to be able to enter text at certain places and scroll text up the "terminal". Any idea how I'd attack this? Or better still, any existing code/components for this sort of thing?</p>
