Suppose that a sequence of bounded and continuous functions $f_n$ converges uniformly to $f_1$ and $f_n$ converges to $f_2$ in $L^2$ sense, then how to show $f_1= f_2$ a.e.?

I tried the following: let $A_\epsilon = \{x:|f_1(x)-f_2(x)|>\epsilon\}$, then $m(A_\epsilon) < m(|f_n - f_1|>\epsilon) + m(|f_n - f_2|>\epsilon)$. Let $n$ go to infinity, then the first part of RHS goes to zero by uniform convergence, but I cannot do anything to $L^2$-convergence.

Can anyone show me how to solve this question? Thanks in advance .

You are on the right track: use $m(|f_n-f_2|\gt\epsilon)\leqslant\epsilon^{-2}\|f_n-f\|_2^2$. – Did Aug 25 '12 at 15:17
@did may be you salvage this question of been unanswered? – Norbert Aug 25 '12 at 19:41
@Norbert Asked 5 hours ago is a bit soon for a question to be declared unanswered, don't you think? – Did Aug 25 '12 at 20:10
I think people shy to post answer that you have already gave in first comment. I really don't like common practice of posting answers as comments – Norbert Aug 25 '12 at 22:24
@Norbert What you say does not correspond to my experience, as I have seen countless examples of the opposite happening on this site. Anyway, your second comment forces me to interpret your first one quite differently than I first did, and in a way which I really don't like. – Did Aug 25 '12 at 22:48
