Question

Components inline, and other questions

Hi, is it possible to flow text between components the way it is done with inline images? Also, I have tried creating an external, interactive SWF and including that as an inline image, but although it displays, it does not function correctly. Is this expected - because this funcionality is only supposed to be used for static images?

Once an image or SWF has been used inline, and the TFT has rendered it between text, is it possible to get the new X/Y position of this image, and if so, how?

Lastly, is work still ongoing on this tool and when is it planned to be published as a non-beta version?

Thanks,

Jim

I think an interactive swf as an inline image is going to have problems with events.  Interacting with the ILGs graphic is not a supported use case and anything that works is coincidental at best.  What it does now is start them playing on first compose and stop them when they are deleted.

There's probably a couple of ways to get the graphic's position.  Try ILG.graphic and look at its x/y and its parent's x/y to find the container relative position.

Hi,

Thanks for this.

You say external interactive SWFs may not work right, what about components like TextFields, and DropDown boxes? I found out how to get those into the TextFlow and all seems to be okay, is this functionality actually supported/good practice?

We're going to be looking to use this tool in a production environment, are there any future plans to integrate this into the Flash player as standard as a non-beta product we can rely on?

Thanks for your help,

Jim

It's not supported. My understanding is that Flex components require that they are parented by Flex components.  I think some other folks in the forum had success using them as ILGs but I don't know the details.

I know of no plans to deliver TLF except as a separate swc not integrated into the player.  RSLs are one possible solution to download TLF just once.  There will be a supported version as part of Flex Gumbo.

Hope that helps,

Richard
