Flex (read-only)

I want to modify the pasted content in different ways like linking URLs, removing tabs, etc. However I've not found a way to get pasted content.When listening to FlowOperationEvent.FLOW_OPERATION_END, I can retrieve PasteOperation and pasteOperation.absoluteStart but not the end of the pasted content. pasteOperation.absoluteEnd points to the end before the paste operation. PasteOperation._numCharsAdded looks promising but it's private.Any ideas appreciated...Marc

Hello,It seems there should be a way to do this but I just can't seem to figure it out.If text is pasted into a Spark TextArea, I want to be able to capture the text that was just pasted into a string or even better capture the start/end positions of the pasted characters in the TextArea's textFlow.I know there has to be a way to do this yet I can't seem to find it.Thanks in advance.

Hi, I was doing some testing with RichEditableText and realized that the undo and redo when called by keyboard (Control + Z) in Internet Explorer does not work.Thanks,

I want to access the latest undo operation in the undo array - but I don't want to destroy it (or execute it)Is there anyway to do that?

Hey,I've created a Tree component extending the Spark List, and it was so easy!  Love the SkinPart architecture.Now I'm facing a big performance issue.Every time I open a branch of the tree, the DataGroup has to create the item renderer from scratch, even though I have "useVirtualLayout = true".This is because "useVirtualLayout" only works if:a) All of the item renderers are the same (ie. there is no itemRendererFunction)b) if there are more items than there is visible space.My tree a) has multiple types of renderers, and b) has more than enough space to fit everything, so I get none of the benefits of the built in renderer caching....I would like to cache the renderers even if there is excess visible space (so if I open the root node, and it creates 3 child nodes, and there is room for 20 child nodes, and then I close it, it still saves those created child nodes in the "freeRenderers" cache so the next time I open it, it can just "pop()" them from the stack).In addition, I would

Hello!I've been trying out Flex 4 and TLF recently, and I've stumbled on huge performance issue in TextArea component, which is built around TLF.It works great for smaller texts, but when you try to edit text say 50kB long, then you find yourself struggling at every character, cause they appear with a noticeable delay as you type.I've tried to take a deeper look into a problem, and it seems that TLF recomposes all the text up to the insertion point on each character insert.  It's really visible - typing is OK at the begining of the text, but it becomes really slow at the end of it.I believe that recomposition on every single text insert operation is done in EditManager.finalizeDo which calls updateAllControllers() every time.Is it a TLF problem or Flex problem? If it's flex problem, then what was done wrong in Flex 4 TextArea? How can it be optimized so that performance becomes acceptable?

Just read an article that contains some interesting AS3 performance conclusions that seem like they'd make good FlexPMD rules:http://jacksondunstan.com/articles/413“If you want speed you should not be using plain functions, local functions, or Function variables. This should give some hint as to the speed of Flash’s package-level functions like getTimer() . Further, you can get big speedups by foregoing static functions, calls trough an interface, and calls throughsuper, especially if you’re going to be using that convenience a lot. The rest of the functions are as fast as you can get. Don’t let anyone tell you that access specifiers matter, calling through this adds needless slowdown, or overriding is handy but slow. It is handy, but it’s not slow.”Do these recommendations fit the bill for FlexPMD rules? If so - I'd be happy to write it up in JIRA.Brian

Hi,I noticed that TLF behavior is not very convinient for MS Word and other text processor users. The problem is following.When TextFlow is empty and I change any format parameter (let's say change fontSize to 48) and then type some text - everything is OK. Text size is indeed 48. Then I press BackSpace button until I reach the position (0,0). If I try to type any text again then it's size is default - 12. I guess it should be 48...Is this a bug or a feature?... Maybe I have to set any specific option to EditManager to make it MSWord-like?Thanks,Alexander

Hi there,I am looking for a Flash component based on the text layout framework where I can edit a page layout. A page layout will have a format, e.g. A4 and consist of a number of TextLayoutFramework widgets that can be moved, resized etc.The output should be XML so that conversion to XSL-fo is possible.Do you know of anybody working on a component like this?Best regards, Tomislav

It seems to me that a very powerful aspect of TLF is the ability to loop through an XML tree and apply custom styling based on your own logic (via IFormatResolver). What I find disappointing is TextConverter's inflexibility and lack of direct TextField-style HTML/StyleSheet support. The docs say that TLF supports the same HTML tags as TextField via TextConverter.HTML_FORMAT. This may be true but it does not support them in the same manner. For example, TextField allows me to create a tag called <whatever> and have a corresponding style in a stylesheet. TextField also allows me to have an <a> be a child of a <span>.  TLF is very anal about what tags can be where and what attributes they can have. In order for me to fully leverage IFormatResolver, I should be able to apply styles based on my own tag names and tag attributes.When calling ITextImporter.importToFlow, where is the validation occuring? Is there an XSD? Can I override this validation? The strictness caus

Hi,I am using TLF in my application. the textflow contains text & inlinegraphics. I am trying to implement spell checker on my own. So I want to add the suggested words for the miss-spelt word. For that I want to know the word I have right cliked on. After that fetching it from library & getting the suggested words part is done.So I need to add a right click event to the miss-spelt words and to know the word I have to look for(the word on which I have right clicked).Thanks in advance.

The old highlights and lowlights would show up as "halos" around the button when cornerRadius was applied and was in focus. However, since it is based on ratios, large buttons will see a change in appearance; the fills will be about half the height of the button.-Applied a similar change to the down state stroke to allow cornerRadius to have an effect.-Small fix to few skins that were applying cornerRadius to both sides of the button (ex. mx/skins/spark/ButtonBarFirstButtonSkin.mxml)QE notes: Lots of bitmap regeneration.

Hello,I would like to know which TLF build the TLF team would recommend?I realize that the framework is still not in a production quality but right now it is confusing which build to use. - The one from November 2008 - The one included in the last major milestone in Flex 4 - The latest night build - Something elseFor example could it be assumed that the last Flex 4 major milestone is expected to be a bit more stable since it belongs to a milestone release?I am not sure because up until recently TLF and Flex 4 builds were not synchronized completely.Any information (I realize it is not an official statement) could help and potentially save time for people eager to develop with TLF.Thank you!
