Question

Can this be used with Flex 3.2 components?

I'm not seeing any examples that use/work with the Flex 3.2 components, like a TextInput. For example, if I want to use a TextInput to support right-to-left text with Hebrew, can I do that with the TLF? Thanks.

That is not possible with Flex SDK 3.2. However, if you pick up the open source Flex SDK, there are components there that work with TLF.

Hi Robin, thanks to posting on the possibility of integration with Flex 3.2 components. I've downloaded the opensource SDK code from SVN (from http://opensource.adobe.com/svn/opensource/flex/sdk/tags/3.4.0.9271) , but am unable to find components that either use a "TextFlow" component or import 'textLayout'. Any suggestions on which components I should be looking at. Thanks much !

There are no Flex 3.X (mx.*) components that know how to use TLF. The Flex SDK team has only integrated TLF into Flex 4.X (spark.*) components. Your choices are:

1. Use Flex 4, which offers components such as <s:Label>, <s:RichText>, <s:RichEditableText>, <s:TextInput> and <s:TextArea> which support FTE and TLF. They're easy to use because we've done the hard work for you.

2. Use Flex 3 and develop your own components that use TLF. This requires understanding how to develop components rather than simply use components, but you can look at how Flex 4 did it and perhaps copy a bunch of code.
