Is a border for DivElement available? Just like CSS's "border: 1px solid #CCCCCC". I'm using TLF 3.

I am currently running FlexPMD 1.1.0.v201010171930 on Eclipse 3.5.When I run the cut & paste check it works fine, but when I run the FlexPMD, it shows up as FlexPMD.running, but the View is always empty.Here is what my log looks like:Any idea how to fix this?

Hi, I'm probably missing something simple here but Flex PMD (using the eclipse plugin) isn't working for me: Nothing gets populated in either the Flex PMD view or the CPD view but the views do open when I run Flex PMD.My configuration is:FlexPMD command line installation: C:\Software\FlexPmdAll\flex-pmd-command-line-1.2.jarFlexPMD custom ruleset: C:\Software\FlexPmdAll\pmd.xmlJava command line: java -Xms512m -Xmx512mFlexCPD command line installation: C:\Software\FlexPmdAll\flex-pmd-cpd-command-line-1.2.jarThere are no spaces in my workspace path, it is simply: C:\Views\ProjectNameHere\Using these settings I get a pop-up error message saying: 'add markers job' has encountered a problem.Expanding on this error gives me: An internal error occurred during: "add markers job". Index: 0, Size: 0If I change the Java command line (a tip found on the web) to: java -Xms512m -Xmx512m -Djava.io.tmpdir=C:\Users\NameGoesHere\AppData\Local\TempI get the same error.If I remove the custom ruleset value

We have implemented track changes in our application but now users want the ability to have a "Final without markup". This involves hiding deleted spans and just not showing the inserted decoration on inserted spans.Character positions are very important to us so I don't think creating a new TextFlow with all the spans that are deleted is an option.  What I really need is a way to hide spans or paragraphs so that as you continue to edit none of the character positions get off.Any ideas or suggestions?Thanks,Joel

For me clicking outside of a TextInput should always remove focus from it, only only if you click on another TextInput or Button.I don't see any simple event like MouseEvent.MOUSE_CLICK_OUTSIDE - which would definitely simplify things.. I wonder why there isn't such event. Well anyway I can't find any other similar event and I can't figure out an easy way to do this. I also wonder why I couldn't find a solution to this on the web easily... Well anyway...Does someone know how to do that in a convenient way? Thanks!

can you please tell me how to create Hyper Link in flex so that it need's to show hand Cursor on Mouse Over and it can abel to select the text on link.

I just installed the release version of Flash Builder 4 after uninstalling Beta 2. Besides some other problems, I am unable to launch any of my applications in Flash player.When I try to run/debug/profile I get these error messages:C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\Player\win\FlashPlayer.exe %1Flash Builder cannot locate the required version of Adobe Flash Player. You might need to install the Flash Player or reinstall Flash Builder.Do you want to try to run your application with the current version?followed by (if I click 'Yes'):Cannot run program "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\Player\win\FlashPlayer.exe %1": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specifiedPictures of the error messages and my preferences: From the looks of it, Flash Builder is looking in an obviously wrong place for the player executable. I can't seem to find out if this is something that is controlled by my preferences/setup or internally by Flash Builder.So, what do I have to

I'm trying to compile the TLF Examples, Notably TextLayoutEditorCanvas is complaining.xmlns:textEditBar="textEditBar.*"xmlns:txui="flashx.textLayout.ui.*"xmlns:txrulers="flashx.textLayout.ui.rulers.*"xmlns:txinsp="flashx.textLayout.ui.inspectors.*"I'm using Flex 4.5.1Patched it with the latest Swc from the sourceforge SVNThe latest TLF examples from the sourceforge SVN and can't find these anywhere.What do I need to do? It's driving me batty.

We basically need a way to use TLF 2.0 with the Flex SDK 4.1.  As standard Flex SDK 4.1 uses TLF 1.0 and we need the bullet list features of TLF 2.0.  Because our software is released out to many customers we can't really move away from Flash Player 10.1 which is the version for Flex SDK 4.1. If we were to just use Flex SDK 4.6 with the later version of TLF it would be using a different player version which would be problematic to rollout because of the change of player. I know there is a Flex article for recompiling the spark components using TLF2.0 with Flex SDK 4.1 but in FDT we don't use these anyway and I think it may be the TextLayout.swc within the SDK which needs recompiling with TLF2.0.If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate some help with this issue. Thanks, Emelye.

Hi,I'm using the TLFTextfield with the UIScrollbar as part of a Chat Application.Everything is working fine exept the way the "thumb" on the scroll bar resizes as the height of the TLFTextfield grows.As each line is added to the textfield beyond it´s visible boundries the "thumb" shrinks exponentially, so that when there are just three lines of scrollable text, the thumb is already tiny.This doesn´t happen if I use a Classic Text Field, where the "thumb" shrinks at a much more gradual rate.Comparing the two, it looks like the difference is down to the _maxScrollPosition variable in the ScrollBar. In the Classic Text the _maxScrollPosition refers to the number of lines, where in TLFTextfield it refers to the number of pixels.Is this a bug?How can I get the UIScrollBar to scroll normally with the TLFTextfield?Thanks in advance....

I had been working with FB4 premium and just purchased FB4.5 premium with Flash cs5.5. I am having a BIG problem importing my old projects from FB4.  AKA: "VerifyError: Error #1053: Illegal override of createGeometry in flashx.textLayout.elements.FlowGroupElement".Please a answer to this would be great, I have read already 3 different post describing the same problem without appropiate answer. The best i got was a confirmation that the problem relies on the TLF and a referral to the TLF forums which have NO answer to this.the debugger doesn't even take me to a line to help me figure out how to solve this. I have already read that the problem lies in the new version of TLF (2.0) None the less I find NOWHERE a way to solve this out.I've tried downgrading the SDK to 4.1 and or changing the reference of the textLayout.swc to the older and/or newer version and none of this helps.Dismissing the error, will runs the project but not even the Debugger will show up and the text will be bugg

Does TLF except text input on iOS devices?  Can someone point me to documentation about this?Thanks.

We have a relatively heavy flex application running in a browser.The Flash verison is 11.2 and Flex SDK is 4.1. Starting a while back we started having two kind of crashes often: 1. the GCOD - a grey circle with white exclamation mark that means too much memory is being used, leading flash player to commit suicide to protect the browser.2. the browser becomes inactive for a while and then crashes, or recovers (but most often crashes).We know we have a lot of memory leaks, and in some cases the crash is justified by memory usage. But, in some cases we record crashes without a high memory usage. I cannot explain these crashes. But we also know that in some cases Flash anticipates a large memory allocation and crashes immediately: this is the cases where, for instance you try to assign a negative value to the length attribute of a vector (i suspect the vector attempts allocation of the length size after an unsafe type convertion into a uint - resulting in a huge vector that cannot be held
