How can i check if a flowgroupelement is a paragraph or div element

Hello!I'm new to TextLayoutFramework, and have some troubles with rendering TLF-based content in data controls.I wrote itemRenderer to dipslay TLF content in List control, but i have troubles with fit renderer's size totextflow size, and with resizing data control ( tlf-content blures on resize).Has anyone workaround for this problem?P.S.:Sorry for my bad English.

Is there a class diagram for TLF classes available? Or is the only documentation the API Reference?-Chris

To help solve the problem of overlapping fonts (per post http://forums.adobe.com/thread/210312?tstart=90), I have been trying to adjust the baseline, leading, etc.  This setting seems to produce what I am looking for:     textFlow.alignmentBaseline = TextBaseline.IDEOGRAPHIC_BOTTOM;     textFlow.leadingModel = LeadingModel.IDEOGRAPHIC_TOP_DOWN;However, an error happens when clicking the last line if all the text does not fit into the container.TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.    at flashx.textLayout.elements::TextFlowLine/http://ns.adobe.com/textLayout/internal/2008::getRomanSelectionHeightAndVerticalAdjustment()    at flashx.textLayout.elements::TextFlowLine/computePointSelectionRectangle()    at flashx.textLayout.elements::TextFlowLine/http://ns.adobe.com/textLayout/internal/2008::hilitePointSelection()    at flashx.textLayout.

When I try to display Hebrew with vowels, it fails under Embedded CFF... the vowels appear off to the side of the letters (as though they are a separate character) when it should appear under. Following is a code sample, showing the device font and then below it with the embedded font... I'm hoping that I just misunderstood how to use the framework. Note that in this example I did embed the font using the Text Layout panel, and I've tried with the component as well as several different approaches, and have not been able to show Hebrew vowels through the Embedded route (but device font works):

We've updated the new Flex 4 States Syntax specification.Added a new itemDestructionPolicy language attribute to control the lifespan of a state-specific component instance.http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Enhanced+States+SyntaxCheers,Corey LucierFlex SDK Team

My question is a simple one:Are columnbreaks considered to be part of version 1.0 of TLF? And if not, does anybody know a workaround on how to achieve this?thanks a lot in advance,Roland

What would be the best way to get sharpest quality text using Embedded fonts? Is there anything similar to fontSharpness or fontThickness that are available with TextFields?ThanksChris

The context for this is a bug I'm trying to fix (#SDK-19578) where if a   component/application has a scaleX/scaleY applied to it, the tool tip appears   at the default scale and so looks too big/small. Our specific case is using application.scaleX / scaleY in an AIR application   to make it easier to read for vision impaired users.   My first attempt only addressed this specific case, so I would do  currentToolTip.scaleX = (currentTarget as UIComponent).parentDocument.scaleX though I commented on the issue maybe .parentApplication would be better.   Corey Lucier however makes the very good point that you can't assume the scale   of 'this' component (a page in a viewStack) is the same as the overall scale   of the whole application - any of the intermediate components could have a   scale applied.   So...  is the correct approach more like:    scale=1  item=parent  wh

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

An inline video element (similar to the inlineGraphicElement) would be a tremendous enhancement to the already impressive text engine.I know that it is late in the game but would such feature be an option in the near future?Imagine a text document with a image clickable which loads a video in this place. This could become the next generation of reading news online with the video integrated right into the article.Thanks.

Hi,Sorry if this has been covered already, but is there a property I can set to restrict characters entered in an editable container? Or do I have to listen to the FlowOperationEvent and remove any chars I don't like after they've been typed ... or is there another way.thanks.

Hello,It is possible to put an image as background in textflow?Thanks in advance,Marcos

Are there any plans to make Text Layout Framwork open source?It would be great to be able to get the source code as keep running into problems while trying to extend it.  There seem to be lots of places where there are final classes and issues that prevent extensions.Any thoughts on why it is not open source?Cheers,Mark
