A colleague has an FB4 library project with unit tests.  When he tries to "Execute FlexUnit Tests" from the right-mouse-button menu, FB4 acts as if it's scanning the project for unit tests (a flickering dialog window pops up, as if it's scanning for tests), but it then claims that it couldn't find any UTs to run.Has anyone else seen that behavior?

Hi all,first post here. Was just wondering if I am allowed to build the mxmlc compiler from source?I have checked outhttp://opensource.adobe.com/svn/opensource/flex/sdk/trunk/and notice that some packages are missingmacromedia.*flash.fonts.*I presume that these files are on the border of the open source license and if so, am I legally allowed to compile the mxmlc compiler from source?How should I go about getting the jars/source code for these packes and any other missing ones?Any help would be gratefully acceptedThanksConrad Winchester

Is there a way to get back all the glyph sizes and positions used to compose a line or block of text? Assuming I'm trusting FTE to compose my text for me, I'd like to get the details of the composed text so I can reuse this information to generate PDF, for example.I can almost do it with TextLine.textSnapshot.getTextRunInfo(), but the run info returned surprisingly does not include which glyph is positioned!  It includes the index of the originally input character, but often characters or sets of characters get replaced in composition.  Ligatures (e.g., "fi", "ffi", etc.), for example, use a single glyph to render 2 or more characters.  Also, some complex scripts use different glyphs for a character depending on where the character is located within a word.The run info does give me a transform matrix for each character, which is great.  Any way to get glyph info to go with that?  Or am I not understanding what this info contains?Thank you!-pd

Hello,Does anyone know how I can make my input field a password style input field?I have an AS3 project using TextContainerManager.TextContainerManager is not the problem in itself, because I can have a custom EditManager or I have reference to the textFlow.Thanks,BenjaminAnd I don't know why the forum search field does not search for my expression in this particular forum. It does search on the full forum which ends up with messy and completely irrelevant search result.

I am working on a text editing tool and want to give user a Tab functionality but when user hits the tab the text shifts to next line. Is their any way to implement this.-Mahesh.

When I compile a somewhat complex application, I immediately get the following error:ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property flashx.textLayout.edit:IEditManager::delayedOperations on flashx.textLayout.edit.EditManager. But when I compile one of the TLF’s sample projects, I do not receive this error. I am using the following:Flex SDK: 4.5.0.17689 (build date: Oct 24, 2010)TLF:  build 232 I came across this post back in November 17, 2010 and as rdermer mentioned, this issue got addressed in build 204.   This change is also documented in the TLF’s ReleaseNotes.txt file.  But I am not sure why it’s happening again.  I am using the latest available builds without building the SDK and TLF locally?

Hi,I have situation which I should be able to build several projects with Ant at same machine and these projects are running by different SDK (3 and 4) Obviously I do not want copy certain SDK flextask.jar to ant lib directory or is it just complier.library element inside mxmlc task which defined SDK?

Hello,When I add interactionManager to a TextFlow:textFlow.interactionManager=new SelectionManager();height of text is ContainerController.compositionHeight, even when there is only one line of text in a textFlow. When text isn't selectable, the height is actual height of ContainerController.container - and for me it's perfect. Problem starts when I put ContainerController.container into another clip - that clip's height is also computed on container.height which provides me unexpected results. How to avoid it?

Hi,I am using BlazedDS remote objects in my application and following is the error I am getting.faultCode:Server.Processing.DuplicateSessionDetectedfaultString:'Detected duplicate HTTP - based FlexSessions, generally due to the remote host disabling session cookies. Session coolkies must be enable to manage the client connection correctly.'faultDetail: 'null'Along with this error I also get the following error most times.faultCode:Server.ProcessingfaultString:'There was an unhandler failure on the server. The FlexSession is invalid.'faultCode:'null'My environment for the application is as follows:Server - Websephere v6.1Browser - IE 6, Mozilla 3.x. I have tried on both the browsers and it occurs in both of them.Flex - Flex SDK - 3.2Java - Java 5.0My application is as follows:I have configured BlazedDS on the server side to access remote objects to get data onto the client which is written in Flex/ActionScript.when i run the application it seems to run fine.

Hi,Let's say I want to create an end align tab at position 200 as a tab stop, according to AS3 Reference http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flashx/textLayout/elements/FlowElement.html#tabStops, I would have an attribute of tabStops="E200". However, when I tried setting up this situation in the Text Layout Editor Demo at http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/textlayout/demos/ and clicked markup, I get attribute of tabStops="alignment:end, position:200" instead.I tried to import a <TextFlow> with tabStops="alignment:end, position:200" on <p>, and, although I don't get an error, the tab doesn't seem to get created. If I try to set this value to a tabStop on a ParagraphElement instance, I get an out of range error. The "E200" format works in both cases.Is the markup being generated by the demo out of date or not correct? Or is the tabStops="alignment:end, position:200" format used in certain situations?Thank you for the info.Will

Hi,I have a scenario where I have applied Css styles to the textflow using the IFormatResolver interface.Now what I need is a way  to show which style is applied to the current selection.I am getting all infomation using the following however the style name that is associated is not there.var textLayoutFormat:TextLayoutFormat = textFlow.interactionManager.getCommonCharacterFormat() as TextLayoutFormat;in my case I am having a parameter myStyle in the usersstyle object of the actual flow elements, but when I do the above I find that the user style object is different and it doesnt have any parameters as mystyle under it-Ashar

Given that the TextScrap.toString() method causes a compiler error - how do I convert a TextScrap instance into a simple text string?(flashx.textLayout.edit.TextScrap)Here is an example of code that won't compile:- private function copy():void{   var scrap:TextScrap=txt.copy(); //returns a TextScrap instance.   Clipboard.generalClipboard.clear();   Clipboard.generalClipboard.setData(ClipboardFormats.TEXT_FORMAT,scrap.toString());  // This line won't compile.   Clipboard.generalClipboard.setData('TextScrap',scrap); }It's for adobe AIR - but that's not relevant to the issue, which is that scrap.toString() causes an error:-Error: Call to a possibly undefined method toString through a reference with static type flashx.textLayout.edit:TextScrap.So is it possible to get a string representation of TextScrap ?

Hi - I'm hoping some Adobe insiders can share some insight on this.I'm basically trying to take the final output (page Sprite) rendered from TLF or the Flash Text Engine, and convert it to PDF with selectable vector text.I get decent results from using PrintJob and a pdf driver like pdfcreator or cutepdf (both use ghostscript on my machine). However, the text in the pdf isn't selectable.This is different when using "classic" Flash9 textfield components.... any text that gets converted is usually selectable. The PDF properties also show (for textfield) that the appropriate font was embedded. Not the case for Tlf TextLines.I'm wondering:- Is this a bug? Or an interntional design choice (if so, what's the reasoning?)- How can I get a PDF made that uses vector fonts and selectable text from FTE output (Sprites)? Ideally I'd want the pdf conversion without the need to use a print driver... so is there any other solution other than printjob - an external library or some server-based loop tha

Hello everyone somebody please help me is i want to know is that possible to make styles in text fonts like bottom arcs, upper arcs text by using text layout framework.

Using Hero (4.5.0.17689)I've got to a point where I can parse custom XML tags using my own (or rather, extended) HtmlImporter class, but I've run into an error with InlineGraphicElements.The InlineGraphicElements are correctly parsed (as far as I can tell) and inserted into the flow. I added a StatusChangeEvent.INLINE_GRAPHIC_STATUS_CHANGE event listener to the flow, which then calls textFlow.flowComposer.updateAllControllers(). At this point I get a run-time error at line 1754 in ContainerController.as.The function in this class is attempting to cast _shapeChildren[0].userData (which is wildcard type) as a TextFlowLine, but the data type is contains is an integer. I've tracked this property assignment to line 151 in the function endLine() in the elusive class SimpleCompose.as, where it overwrites a TextFlowLine object.I'm not sure whether this is related in some way to https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-22792.I'm also using a Configuration object, which contains an inlineGraphicRe

Are there any release notes on what has been fixed/added in this build?

Hi there,So devs, who's most familiar with the Navigation lib?  I debuged some problems I was having yesterday and found a couple code issues related to deferred waypoint creation and pending navigation events.  I want to share a couple small tweaks to the following files which have solved my problems:WaypointHandler - add 1 line, remove 1 lineDestinationRegistry - change 1 lineEnterAndExitInvoker - change 1 lineSend me a message and we can chat via e-mail or IMs.  Or I can just dump everything here in the forums if you'd prefer.Thanks.

Hi Guys,someone know how to do a bullet list in TLF??Thanks

Hi,I am setting up a project using "best of breed" technologies "Flex-Spring-Hibernate" with Maven support, just like our great "todo sample" http://opensource.adobe.com/svn/opensource/cairngorm3/trunk/samples/todo.But my skill is just so limited so I can't do it by myself. I need a sample to follow (even copy/paste). All I need is something like our "todo sample" on its own (not an application inside cairngorm3 source code).If you have or saw something like that, please tell me.Thanks,P/S: side question: I built the todo app successfully then deploy to tomcat. But I got a empty screen when I run it. I guess I miss some installation steps. I searched for the installtion guide but couldn't find one. Please share me if you have the guide

Greetings,I have to develop a complex custom widget, with custom text wrapping behaviour. Text Layout framework seem to offer fine level of control, but we are trying to keep our project in Flash player 9, and therefore we are using Flex 3 sdk.Can I use the framework with flex sdk 3 and therefore flash player 9?Best RegardsSeref

I realize that I can simply check out built SWC files from here, but this doesn't help me build the samples. I feel like I've missed some corner of the documentation, because my procedure for building Cairngorm 3 libraries and samples seems like it can't possibly be right.I've tried creating a new workspace and checking out the entire contents of this repository into it:http://opensource.adobe.com/svn/opensource/cairngorm3/trunk/librariesThat seems to succeed, although I get errors like this every time:The resulting projects don't build because of this error:configuration variable 'compiler.library-path' value contains unknown token 'M2_REPO'    ContractTest        Unknown    Flex ProblemI've fixed that problem by getting http://opensource.adobe.com/svn/opensource/cairngorm3/maven-repository to my C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4 Plug-in folder and setting M2_REPO in my workspace's Linked Resources to po

Why does Flex SDK 4.5 requires minimum flash player version 10.1 not 10 ?
