Can't edit enabled text fields?

for following code:

 

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- dragdrop\simplelisttolistmove.mxml -->
<mx:application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
xmlns:componenets="componenets.*"
layout="absolute">
<mx:text id="txtname" x="247" y="24" width="181" enabled="true" text="course1"/>
<mx:label x="137" y="24" text="course name:" textalign="right"/>
<mx:text id="txtdesc" x="247" y="77" width="269" enabled="true" text="description1"/>
<mx:label x="157" y="76" text="description:" textalign="right"/>
</mx:application>

 

since these 2 text fields set enabled="true", why user not able edit text field?

i'm moving data these fields database allow user edit data before sending php.  should using different control?   there way create border automatically around text fields this?

maybe want textarea instead of text?  text display allows copy clipboard , link clicking.
