Dear Sirs,

First of all, congratulation on your framework, it is trully a great job.

I would like to know if it is possible to export the textFlow by using a XML specifc scheme, separated by controllers.

Example:

<content>
<controller>[...]</controller>
<controller>[...]</controller>
<controller>[...]</controller>
</content>

In case it is not, how can I obtain the value (TextLayout Format) of a specific controller?

Additionaly, please let me know if there is an estimate for some new funcionalities such as text highlight, tables, images resizing / positioning, and lists (ordered and numbered).

Thanks for your attention,

Marcos Passos

There are a couple of things you could try:

1 - Exporting in TextLayout format, then doing some XML processing (maybe some XSLT) in order to adapt the markup into your own custom schema
2 - Implementing your own custom TextExporter (via implementing flashx.textLayout.conversion.ITextExporter). This is probably more work than you want to do, depending on the specific needs of your app.

I am trying to implement Flex in my company, but I don't have much experience with this tecnology. We need to export the typed text, separated by controllers (pages), allowing us to load some specifc pages, and not the entire document. This functionallity is very important for this application developement.

I wonder if anyone could give me some tips on that, because I searched both the forum and the internet but I could not find anything on this specific problem, maaybe because this framawork is quite new.
