I have a requirement where I need an image to span multiple pages.  So, if I had a half page of text and an image that has a height of 1 page.  Instead of it just being placed on the next page I need it to display as much as it can on the first page then put the rest on the next page.Any suggestions how I would go about doing this?On a totally different note, I really want to thank everyone that has worked on TLF.  I know how much it stinks to work on something so hard and put everything into it only to have people tell you where it falls short.  The company I work for 100% depends on what you have created and I don't think there is any way we could have used Flex for our product if we didn't have TLF and its extensibility.  Also, thanks for continuing to work on the framework to make it better and more efficient and take requests from a development community that I know isn't the most grateful.  Joel

I am not sure if you are accepting feature requests for TLF 2.0, but in the case you are maybe it's a good idea to dedicate a thread to this?I know lists and floats are already being under development, I hope you'll consider these too:straddle heads (column spanning)drop capscolumn balancing paging (columns fill page, when page is full a new page is composed on which a new column starts, benefits: user no longer has to scroll up and down per column but moves simply to next page. Example Times Reader 2.0)nested (group of) inline elementsbackground & border properties per CSS3 specs (at least for (inline-)block type elements)box paddingcustom images for the list marker as per CSS3 specstables split TLF SWZ lib into three libs: one containing the render code, one for the select code and one with all edit stuff.make TLF 2.0 an excellent performer on any platform including smart phones.stay away from final classes (after all it's a framework)don't declare variables of a type of a sub cl

Is there a way to pass the configuration file used by Flex Builder, .actionScriptProperties, to mxmlc.exe?  This would allow me to configure the Flex build path via Flex Builder UI as a developer and leverage that configuration in my nightly build via an ant script.Thanks for the help.-Scott

Hi all.I would like to know how you would go about implementing a "fill in the gap" feature using the TLF, if at all possible.For example, the following text would be presented:The quick brown fox jumps over the _______ dogIn the "_______" part I want to get input from the user, it can be a TextInput, a ComboBox, or any other UIComponent based component.My problems are:1. What should I use to create this gaps? Since I don't suppose you can include UIComponents inside a textflow, my guess is I will needto put some sort of flag to indicate a gap and preserve some empty space for the UIComponent to be added later.2. To add the UIComponent, I will need to locate the flagged element, and get its position (x,y) and width.3. (less important:) Once the user completed the gap I might want. to turn the gap back to normal text (possibly with a V icon next to it)Any thoughts or ideas will be greatly appreciated !

FlexUnit developers,Hello again.  I saw a brief mention of Cobertura in a recent forum post, and was wondering what sort of Cobertura support is in the works for FlexUnit?  We use Cobertura extensively for performing our Java test coverage, and have infrastructure in place already to publish Cobertura reports.We have not tried to generate any coverage data with flexcover yet, mainly because it requires that the binaries be built using a special instrumented Flex SDK. This is a problem for us (long story). Another approach that would allow the build to be done with the standard Adobe Flex SDK would be preferred, and I am wondering if you guys (or the flexcover folks) are planning to  do something like that using Cobertura perhaps...So, my question is simple:Would the Cobertura support functionality eliminate the need for using the flexcover SDK to perform the compilation?  (sorry if this is more of a flexcover question)...Thanks,Trevor

Hi everybody,I tried FlexPMD and I like it.Therefore I wanted to create my custom ruleset with this tool:http://opensource.adobe.com/svn/opensource/flexpmd/bin/flex-pmd-ruleset-creator.htmlI changes some rules and export that xml.In "Eclipse->Settings->FlexPMD->FlexPMD custom ruleset" I browse to that downloaded file.Everytime I set a custom ruleset file FlexPMD does not find any errors, warnings or informations anymore.I am using:EclipseVersion: 3.4.2Build id: M20090211-1700Flashbuilder 4Version: 4.0Build id: 272416Any ideas why I cannot set up my custom ruleset?Regards,Jan

Hi All,I am facing some problem in running my test cases in sequence in FlexUnit 4. Suppose i am adding the test case class in my main MXML. public function runMyTest():void            {                 flexUnitCore = new FlexUnitCore();                 flexUnitCore.addListener( new UIListener( testRunner ));              //My test suite class name is SvcTest                  flexUnitCore.run(SvcTest);                                        &nbs

Ok guys I need your help.    I have been building a Word -> FXML converter and so far have had pretty good success, but I cannot seem to figure out a way to do a hanging index in FXML.      See http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/H/hanging_indent.html for more info.  But basically a hanging indent is a left margin or indentation that's applied to every line after the first in a paragraph.  For eampleSpeaker A:   Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,                        consectetur adipiscing elit.                        Donec dignissim tristique tellus,Speaker B: sit amet mattis leo vehicula id.                   &nbs

Hello,I am using:var textFlow:TextFlow = TextFlowUtil.importFromString(source);to turn TLF markup into a Text Flow for use in a RichEditableText component. The markup may contain any number of images.The RichEditableText component needs to be rotated slightly, but doing so causes the images to render with really unpleasent jaggies. How should I set image smoothing on all the images in the TextFlow?

Hi Everyone,Anyone worked with Text Layout Framework (TLF)???Please help me. I am facing a big problem.As per TLF with the help of "insertInlineGraphic" method we can add Image or DisplayObject in TLF. But this is not happening. I am trying to add a combobox in TLF but no use.Here is the line of code:EditManager(_textFlow.interactionManager).insertInlineGraphic(new ComboBox(),100,40); Please help me.Regards,Amandeep Singh

Hey,seeing the early status for the Module/Integration-libraries, have any of you already derived a way to handle team-development for modular projects? Especially with different environments for the application to run in, requiring parameters (like the server to communicate to) to be dependent on the environment.My "perfect solution" would include local development using Flash Builder 4 and the integrated facilities to run an application as a "Web application" using an embedded Tomcat in Flash Builder 4 as the backend to the UI/Flex project as well as staging/production environments where the compiled flex-project resides on the same machine as the backend that it's talking to.Basically my question has two parts:How do you configure your application (if at all) to change central parameters for your application according to the environment (e.g. the server url, or the path to modules which are loaded at runtime)How do you integrate that into the local Flash Builder workflow, which laun

HiI'm using text flow layout for displaying animations in text, which is working pretty well so far, but if the animation goes over the boundaries of the textflow object, it seems to be clipped (i.e. one animation has a jumping person, which gets clipped at the top if it's on the first line).  I've tried using clipContent="false" on the canvas that holds the text, but with no luck and am now a bit baffled. Anyone know what might be causing the clipping (I've attached an image below)?To give you some idea of composition, I have a holding sprite, which is passed into a DisplayObjectContainerController.The textflow is made up of a ParagraphElement, which in turn holds either span, link or inlinegraphic elements (animations loaded in using inlinegraphicelement).  If the animations are displayed away from the edge of the textflow object (i.e. not on the first line), they display fine, they only get clipped if they go over the edge.Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What would be the preferred data type in mySQL to store an image(jpeg or png)?I would think BLOB would serve this purpose best.Who is currently doing this and what data type are you using?Regards,Scott

So i thought this was basically a security error... meaning you can only read the clipboard's content with a user generated paste event (only happens through short cut keys or a context menu action). My question is can this actually be called or is just here so you can listen for a paste event and then envoke it your self?

Hi,We are using the new TLF in a project that requires a lot of font embedding and replacing the normal TextField by using the TextFlow and the TextFlowTextLineFactory in actionscript code. However, we also require input fields using the new font embedding. So the TLFTextField would be a great help in moving forward faster in the project.So I hope someone can share some light on the TLFTextField or any other way to easily create textfields to be used in forms using the new font embedding.Best regards,Marco

I have a setter that changes HTML text to TextFlow         public function set text(value:String):void {             _log = value;             _flowElement = TextConverter.importToFlow(_log,  TextConverter.TEXT_FIELD_HTML_FORMAT, _configuation);              _flowElement.flowComposer.addController(_containerController);                          _flowElement.flowComposer.updateAllControllers();             _containerController.verticalScrollPosition =  _containerController.getContentBounds().height;             _flowElem

Has anyone looked into the possibility of text wrap around an image. I'm not talking an image embedded in a line of text, but an image in a paragraph (or column) that wraps text dynamically around text. I would be very interested to hear from anyone who has experimented with this. thanks for your interest!

BUG DESCRIPTION:I have a TextArea in my <WindowedApplication/> that reads a <TextFlow> object from an XML string : contentTA.textDisplay.textFlow=TextFlowUtil.importFromString(xmlString);An image element,and some formatted text (underline,background colored text) just disappear an reappear as I scroll up and down in the TextArea.The same setup described above works OK  as expected in the context of a Web Application.I compiled with the new Flex 4.1 SDK  which has a 2.0.2 AIR runtime:this is the cause of the bugs.I compiled my AIR application with Flex 4.0 SDK (AIR 1.5.3 runtime) and the problems went away. Problem is not solved,though.I cannot export a release build and expect it to install with AIR 2.0.2 installed in my computer.Thank you so much for your interest.

This only happens when you have your cursor at the beginning of lines that are not the first line in a paragraph.  When you press the tab key it seems like the model is getting changed but the UI doesn't get updated with the change.  Then if you edit anywhere in the first line of the paragraph you can see the tabs you entered appear.Here is a video of what I am seeing in my application as well as the demo application http://screencast.com/t/NTViNjRhNzgt

I am trying to embed the Adobe TLF editor in my AIR application and noticed a bug:When content is scrolled in the editor,images disappear and reappear.I embedded the editor both as a custom component and as a swf (with SWFLoader).The buggy behavior is exhibited only when the main application is WindowedApplication (AIR).Embedding the editor in a WebApplication  (<s:Application>) works OK.What's the deal???I will appreciate any help.Thanks in advance.

Hi,We have a requirement to build an application in flex with Arabic support for one of our big clients. Currently we are exploring flex but haven't found any good example on how to enable Arabic in flex. Have found some articles/posts saying that Arabic is supported in flex 4 through Text Layout Framework. Please note that in our case, arabic text is dynamic i.e. coming from a web service for example company names that are required to be shown in grid, drop down list and list box. Unfortunately we are not able to find any good example of using Arabic.Can anyone out there guide us to any reference documents and comment if it is possible to show arabic in flex?Your prompt response will be highly appreciated.Thanks,

Grant Skinner expressed his thoughts on TLF & FTE on his blog. I think he is spot on and I hope Adobe will agree and reconsider things in accordance with Grant's thoughts.

Hello All,Please find the attached image with this post.Arabic words are not displaying completely/correctly. I have makred it with red line, you can see that in the attached image.<s:TextArea text="{_str}"  width="100%"                 height="100%"                 fontSize="50" />_str  is the String variable which contains  the Arabic text.Awaiting for prompt response.
