Flex (read-only)

Hi,I'm trying to learn the new Flex 4 component architecture by making some simple components.The first component I'd like to do is made up of a TextInput and a clickable BitmapImage.When the image is clicked, a list of buttons (number of button specified via a property) appears in a pop-up.From what I read in the specs, this is a case when I have to use createDynamicPartInstance.Unfortunately, there is few documentation at the moment about this method and calling this method always return null.Please find attached source code of this component.in openDropDown, createDynamicPartInstance always returns null. I've looked at the source code of createDynamicPartInstance. It tries to find an instance of button but there is no existing instance. How I am supposed to handle this?Thanks.Florian

e2publish is a sophisticated AIR application that uses the Text Layout Framework.  I've just made the first beta prototype available of my website.http://www.e2easy.co.cc/e2publish.htmlAn ambitious project such as this relies on the feedback of test users.  Comments, suggestions, recommendations, ideas, and bug reports.  Let me know what you think?A video presentation about this project can be found here:-http://e2easy.wordpress.com/2009/10/19/announcing-an-adobe-air-publish-application/The most novel feature is way the text arranges itself to warp around the pictures, wherever they are placed on the page.

We all know that there is a pretty big downside to creating potentially thousands of DisplayObjectContainers (TextLines).o - they are slow to createo - they may be short livedo - they occupy lots of memoryo - they may need to be generated frequentlyCurrently, there is only one way to find out all the information you need and that is to create all the TextLines for a given data set.This means that FTE does not scale well. It becomes very slow for large data sets that need to be regenerated.I am proposing a possible solution and hope that Adobe will consider it.If we had the right tools we could create a sliding window of display objects. With large data sets only a fraction of the content is actually visible. So only the objects that are actually visible need to be created. There is no way to do this efficiently with FTE at the present time.So we need a few new methods and classes that parallel what you already have.New Method 1)TextBlock.getTextLineInfo (width:Number, lineOffset:Number

How have people implemented pasting into a TextFlow?Ok, in a browser, you can rely on the usual behaviour of cut/copy/paste - but in AIR you need to define your own behaviour. (Unless someone knows how to invoke the usual behaviour without explicitly coding something?)If I attempt to code the behaviour for paste, then I run into the limitation for EditManager.insertText() and EditManager.overwriteText() that they behavevery strangely with strings that contain newline characters.  When text alignment is set to TextFormatAlign.JUSTIFY, the final lines of paragraphs end up justified, and there is no way to correct the formatting of the text programatically.  (You can only correct it by retyping return characters into the text box.)Does anyone know a workaround for this? - Or another way to implement paste that doesn't rely on the buggy EditManager.insertText() or EditManager.overwriteText() methods?

The mx (Container) creationPolicy property had logic to inherit the parent's creation policy if not explicitly specified, but this only worked if the parent was also a Container.This change makes SkinnableContainer.creationPolicy an inheriting property, and fixes mx Containers so they can inherit creationPolicy from SkinnableContainer parents.

Hey everyone,I'm just starting to dig into the Text Layout Framework and have noticed a really weird bug.  The test seems really basic so I'm bewildered as to why it would ever be released with the bug in it, so I'm hoping it's just my settings or something.  I'm compiling with the Flex 3.3 SDK and I've included the textLayout.swc in my project.The bug is essentially this: click in the second line of text and the caret is positioned and sized correctly.  Now click the first line of text and the caret is positioned quite far below both lines of text.  Here's the test:package {     import flash.display.Sprite;          import flashx.textLayout.container.ContainerController;     import flashx.textLayout.conversion.TextConverter;     import flashx.textLayout.edit.EditManager;     import flashx.textLayout.elements.TextFlow;     impor

is there some way to set different values of bevelFilter to diferents parts of the text?

Hi,I want to implement an text editor where the user can create, move and resize text fields. So I took a RichEditableTextField and integrated it in the skin of the component that handles the drag and drop etc.The text should be editable if the user double clicks on the text field.But it seems, that there is a problem with that property: after the text field is deselected (enabled is set to false) and selected again (enabled = true) the text field is editable but the selection highlight and the caret are not drawn.I created a test project to demonstrate it to you (its appended).To reproduce the bug double click on the text, write something, and click on the white space to deselect it.Then double click again on the text, move the mouse cursor to the white space and back on the text (another strange thing) to change it to the text edit cursor. Then you can enter text again, but if you try to select to select some text the selection highlight is not drawn. If you change the browser window

Hey Folk.I have text flow, which i try to make like Edit Box. For that, i set lineBreak to EXPLICIT and catch Keyboard event on Enter.The problem:My text flow includes paragraph which includes one spain.When i fill the spain with text - the content width equals to container width, i try to add InlineGraphicElement to this text flow, the all inside data didn't move left automaticly, means i don't see the graphic element, it located outside the bound, only when i pressed right button, all data moves left and then the graphic element shown.To solve it I think to check the width-s of container and the content and then if the content width is bigger then container width, move the content to the left, but cannot find how to make it.Any ideas for moving content manually or other solutions?P.S. Thanks for advice
