We are experiencing some issues with kerning and other spacing between characters when we scale the container. We have textflows in modules that need to scale to a fullscreen AIR application. When we do this, the spacing between characters becomes an issue, some characters are really spaced out while others become attached to or overlap another. Is there some way to redraw/recalculate the text? I also noticed that this issue does not happen on a Mac but only on a PC.

How to keep cursor in focus for a TLF in ScrollPane? Consider this:textFlow.addEventListener(UpdateCompleteEvent.UPDATE_COMPLETE, tlfUpdtHandler, false, 0, true);private function tlfUpdtHandler(e:Event):void {          var textFlow = e.currentTarget;          var containerController = textFlow.flowComposer.getControllerAt(0) as ContainerController;          var contentBounds:Rectangle = containerController.getContentBounds();          var tlf_mc = containerController.container;          containerController.setCompositionSize(containerController.compositionWidth, contentBounds.height);          var sp:ScrollPane = tlf_mc.parent.parent;          sp.update();   &nb

Hey all, This is a draft proposal for how we'll update CSS support to handle disambiguating classes via namespace. Feedback appreciated here for now so when we get to the formal mini-spec we can rush it through. --------- Keeping in mind that most folks have indicated they don't use Type selectors much in CSS... - Namespace qualification is now required for type selectors in CSS style declarations. - Gumbo will use the CSS3 suggested syntax for declaring namespaces and prefixing type selectors. For the most common component namespace the default namespace can be used (ignore the actual namespace url value): @11909012 "http://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"; Button { color: #990000; } Otherwise, prefixes can be specified for each namespace: @11909012 "http://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"; @11909012 cx "com.mycompany.*"; Button { color: #990000; } cx|MyFancyButton { color: #000099; } - The namespace mappings that are currently used to map MXML tags to ActionScript class names will also a

Any idea why this does not work? The text direction remains LTR no matter what I do. I tried moving around at what point the text is set with no luck.The only difference I get is this text:Registered TRADEMARK<font face="Lucida Sans Unicode">®</font>Is rendered as:®Registered TRADEMARK protected function configureText(title:String):void {     this.textField = new TLFTextField();     this.textField.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;     this.textField.mouseChildren = false;     this.textField.mouseEnabled = false;     this.textField.selectable = false;     this.textField.wordWrap = false;          this.textField.htmlText = title;          var format:TextLayoutFormat = new TextLayoutFormat();     format.color = this.defaultTextColor;     fo

Hi,I was trying out the new XML configuration support for Navigation today - great job on this Alex!I was wondering if there was a way to do token substitution in the external xml config file, where the substituted values come from a properties file, along the lines of Spring.  Spring Actionscript decided to do it this way and it was very convenient... Here's an example:<property file="config.properties" /><object type="com.View1PM">        <cairngorm:landmark name="${SOME_PROPERTY}"/></object>And in a properties file called config.properties, define it this way:# a commentsome_property=content.view1I saw that there was a class that Xavi contributed to Parsley that seems related to this but wasn't sure whether it was completed or has evolved from there.  Is this currently possible in the way I describe above? Best,Bruce

Hi,I'm currently working on a really simple Parameterized TestCase.

I'm struggling with setting custom formatting properties on different ContainerControllers assigned to a single TextFlow instance. I can assign different columnCount properties and those display as desired, but other properties such as color seem to be ignored. I have tried this syntax: myContainerController.color = 0x00ff00; myContainerController.columnCount = 2; I have also tried: var tlf:TextLayoutFormat = new TextLayoutFormat(); tlf.color = 0x00ff00; tlf.columnCount = 2; myContainerController.format = tlf; In both cases, the columnCount is set correctly, but the color is ignored. Is it possible to affect the color of the displayed text? That would seem to be one of the primary advantages of TLF text?Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi TLF pros,I try to get the right height of a textflow - unfortuntaley the returned value of the container (Sprite) height is too large:I extended a simple "Hello World" example and tried to visualise the problem:private function init():void        {                    var format:TextLayoutFormat = new TextLayoutFormat();            format.fontSize = "120";            format.fontFamily = "Times";                        var textFlow:TextFlow = new TextFlow();            textFlow.format = format;                 &nb

Hi,I'm trying to detect the container height when the textflow changes, so I can make my container resizable. I found the answer in one of the posts here at the forum. My questions is why when the CompositionComplete Event is fired, the boundaries of the container initially has a very unreal height, for example 2500 and after tha another CompositionComplete is fired with a more real value, in my test 370 (for my text flow). This causes the container to "jump".Is there any way to prevent this? I want the resize o be very smooth.I found this example, it works!, and illustrates the same issue I have: http://www.oscar-mejia.com/blog/post/tlf-resiable-textflow-containerPlease help.Thanks

Hi,I have a container that resizes when the user modifies its content. This textflow may contain text and images. I need to find a way to measure the total height required to display its content. I have read several post here and have tried several solutions without luck.I'm waiting to the CompositionCompleteEvent event and then trying to figure out of the container needs to be resized:protected function compositionCompleteHandler(event:CompositionCompleteEvent):void {     var containerIndex:int = event.textFlow.flowComposer.findControllerIndexAtPosition( event.textFlow.textLength-1 );      if(containerIndex == -1){               // resize the component!!!!!               var boundaries:Rectangle = (textFlow.flowComposer.getControllerAt(0) as ContainerController).getContentBounds();  &nbsp

Hi,I want to access each line text value ( same as we can access using 'getLineText( lineNumber )' in text component of  Flex 3 ) ?ThanksBharat Patel

I have a class that inherits from EditManager and provides these methods:public function performCopy():void { var copyOperation:CopyOperation = new CopyOperation( getSelectionState() ); doOperation( copyOperation ); } public function performCut():void { var textToCut:TextScrap = TextScrap.createTextScrap( getSelectionState() ); var cutOperation:CutOperation = new CutOperation( getSelectionState(), textToCut ); doOperation( cutOperation ); }PerformCopy works fine and puts the copied text on the clipboard.PerformCut removes the text as expected but does not put it on the clipboard.The CutOperation documentation says "The edit manager is responsible for copying the text scrap to the clipboard. Undoing a cut operation does not restore the original clipboard state."Any idea what I might be doing wrong? ThanksStefan
