Hi, I am trying to figure out to implement a ruler like the online TLF demo has, http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/textlayout/demos/.

Could you let me know what would be the best way to do this? And also, is it possible to open the source of this demo?

Thanks in advance.

Luke.

I would also be very interested in an open source version of this demo - I think it would be very very helpful.

We have a SimpleEditor example project, which is useful if you are starting a user interface, but it doesn't include a ruler. Unfortunately the code for the online editor UI is something we can't release at present. I can say that it is possible to do it all in Flex. I think one of the tricky parts is likely to be tracking the tab when it gets dragged.

Sorry!
