Adding Colums

Question

Hi,I have a Component with a RichEditable text and I want to display the text in two colums.I found this example code here:private function changeColumnCount(newCount:String):void{
     if (_textFlow && _textFlow.interactionManager is IEditManager)
     {
     var cf:TextLayoutFormat = new TextLayoutFormat();
         cf.columnCount = newCount;
         IEditManager(_textFlow.interactionManager).applyContainerFormat(cf);
         _textFlow.interactionManager.setFocus();
     }
     }When I try to apply it to my RichEditableText.textFlow nothing happens.Even the if condition is not true?I tried it like this:private function changeColumnCount(newCount:String):void
{
     if (myEditor.textFlow && myEditor.textFlow.interactionManager is IEditManager)
     {
          var cf:TextLayoutFormat = new TextLayoutFormat();
          cf.columnCount = newCount;
          IEditManager(_editor.textFlow.interactionManager).applyContainerFormat(cf);
          myEditor.textFlow.interactionManager.setFocus();
     }
}What do I miss?Is there somewhere a simple Flex4 example for a 2 Colum Rich Editable Text?

I'd have to look a bit more into the RichEditableText implementation to see why the code above isn't working, but can you use the column count style information built into the component?

myEditor.setStyle ("columnCount", newCount);
