There are a lot of mirroring issues with TLF component. Is there any class available which deals with RTL languages correctly.The TLF component do not work correctly with mixed content (Arabic+English) and when brackets are present in text.

Hi All,I have just written a simple As class using flex builder3 and flex_sdk_4.0.0.10485 surprisingly it shows a dozen of errors     my simple class is  package {    import flash.display.Sprite;        import flashx.textLayout.compose.StandardFlowComposer;    import flashx.textLayout.container.ContainerController;    import flashx.textLayout.elements.ParagraphElement;    import flashx.textLayout.elements.SpanElement;    import flashx.textLayout.elements.TextFlow;        public class HelloWorld extends Sprite    {        public function HelloWorld()        {            var textFlow:TextFlow = new TextFlow();            var p:ParagraphEle

Revision: 14567Revision: 14567Author: klin@adobe.comDate: 2010-03-03 18:08:04 -0800 (Wed, 03 Mar 2010)Log Message:***********Fix for de-mirroring icons correctly including http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-25657 and http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-25684.In general, the fix for de-mirroring icons involves saving the original transform matrix before applying our scaling and translation. Our current method only partially does this resulting in bugs such as the vertical flipping. After saving the matrix, we can restore the original transform matrix when applying most properties that would affect our calculations (width, height, scaleX, scaleY, x). We also use backing variables for scaleX and scaleY since they may be affected by the matrix calculations and by setting width and height. I?\226?\128?\153ve also tried to simplify the case where we are switching back to not mirroring by restoring the original matrix and setting properties normally.-Modified validateTransformMatri

When I try to compile and run FlexUnit 4 tests from Flash CS4, there is a run-time error that no tests were found. I believe the cause is that the custom [Test] metadata didn't make it into the SWF, because MXMLC by default does not keep custom AS3 metadata. And unfortunately, Flash CS4 doesn't allow you to supply additional compiler arguments.Is there a way to use FlexUnit 4 with Flash CS4?Robert

Are .swf files that use TFL distributable? I'm a little unclear on some of the Adobe Labs specifics.What I can glean (after a few hours of looking at this feature) is:- Flash Text Engine is built into Flash Player 10 already, so anything that uses the low-level API will work for any user- Text Layout Framework is still in beta and not part of Flash Player 10, but- since TLF just makes calls to FTE (right?) and is just ActionScript (and a component), .swf files that use TLF should work fine for other users, correct?- but may be technically not distributable because it's not officially released yet?- but may be distributable anyway because it's been open sourced?what is the understanding of others in this group? Are you putting things out in the wild that use the higher level API?thanks,--Derek

Hi, total noob here as far as FTE/TLF. I'm trying to accomplish JPEG inlining in text that i'm loading in - very similar to what a typical web browser can do with HTML and <img> tags. After seeing how the regular Flash htmlText fields fail at this task, i've turned to FTE. I need to have text-text-text-image-text-text-text, that sort of thing.It looks like the TFL markup is promising in this regard - should I use that, or try to construct things with the FTE structures/components? As you can see I have no idea what I'm talking about, need a clue soon, help! I'm having trouble finding the specifics of the TLF markup documented, that would be a good start if someone could point me to that. Thanks!--Derek

Hi all!When we launch flexpmd from the plugin maven, how could we indicate our xml rule file?Indeed actually I run the plugin FlexPMD declared in my pom like this:            <plugin>                <groupId>com.adobe.ac</groupId>                <artifactId>flex-pmd-maven-plugin</artifactId>                <version>1.0.RC4</version>            </plugin>But it takes by defaults all the rules. I have tried to configure my pom (like it did with ant) bya adding a configuration section where i specify my xml rule file.            <plugin>  &nbsp

I have a need to make the size of the transparent background added to the ContainerController smaller so I can layer other components under the controller but also be able to accept mouse events.I noticed above attachTransparentBackgroundForHit there is this comment: /** No mouse clicks or moves will be generated for the container unless it has a background covering its area.  Text Layout Framework * wants those events so that clicking on a container will select the text in it.  This code * adds or updates (on size change) that background for Sprite containers only. This may cause clients problems * - definitely no hits is a problem - add this code to explore the issues - expect feedback.  * We may have to make this configurable. @private */One thing that would be nice to have would be is a transparentBackgroundTopOffset and transparentBackgroundBottomOffset.  Then change values of the local variables bgheight and bgy to accommodate for the offsets.

Hello,  I developed a flex model using the calendar input form for date selection, but when i tried to translate the month and weekdays from English to logon language (Portuguese), i couldn´t find a way.  Can anyone help how to see the calender in a different language?Best regards,Pedro

HiI have a problem which has been kicking my rear end for a while now.I have a Linechart to which I add (programmatically in AS code) multiple PlotSeries. I let the first series be handled by the default verticalaxisrenderer (on the left side of the graph) and then the next series (if a different type of data) be rendererd by another verticalAxisrenderer (created programmtically) and added to the right side. And it "works", but the problem is this:Say I add a series that has a range of 30-80 first. It works fine, BUT when i add a second series with a range of say 1100-1200  the second series is added fine but the first series is 'rescaled' on the axis to go from 30-80 to 0-1200! Which is obviously wrong! I have made other attempts to fix this and it always rescales the axis (sometimes rescaling the data, sometimes not) I have double checked that baseatZero is false and it is--its just the act of adding that second series which causes this redraw and rescale. What am I missing here

It doesn't appear that StringTextLineFactory supports the use of backgroundColor on the text layout format.  I noticed in the documentation of TextFlowTextLineFactory.createTextLines it mentions that if there are background colors they will be sent to the callback function as shapes but there is no mention of that in StringTextLineFactory.StringTextLineFactory supports other adornments such as strike through so it would seem like backgroundColor should also work.Thanks,Joel Marks

I'm trying to import a well-formed bit of HTML where the span nodes have id attributes meaningful for later use in my application.  However, running the usual TextConverter.importToFlow call results in a TextFlow where the corresponding SpanElements do not have their id properties initialized.var simple:XML = <p><span  id="hello">world</span></p>;var textFlow:TextFlow =  TextConverter.importToFlow(simple.toXMLString(),  TextConverter.TEXT_FIELD_HTML_FORMAT);var helloSpan:FlowElement =  textFlow.getElementByID("hello");Contrary to expectations, the helloSpan is always null.  Poking through the textFlow children, one can see that the id value for our span is null.

HiIs there a Maven public repository for Cairngorm artifacts, so that we could directly point to it in our POM files, instead of recreating manually Cairngorm artifacts in our own repository ?If not, this would be a great facility for users of CG3ThanksJulien

Hi All I am new to MVC and Cairnhorm . I am developing an AIR application where besides the regular services that I define through ServiceLocator I have also SQL database  . My question is what is the right place for SQLite in MVC .Should it be accessed through ServiceLocator too and the sql commands queries with regular delegates?Any help will be appreciated !

Hi,I am trying to create a portal which loads applications through SWFLoader which are in the same security domain but different application domains.Can these scenarios be handled?1. sub-application dispatch custom event and be handled by the host application (portal)?2. host application dispatch custom event and be handled by sub-application?I am currently using the following for simple events://from dispatching applicationsystemManager.getSandboxRoot().dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent("click");//receiving applicationsystemManager.getSandboxRoot().addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickHandler);I need to be able to pass data along with the custom event within the same security domain (diff app domain), this is why I need custome events.Can this be done? Would I have to create an RSL that contains the custom event package and import it to the separate applicaitons?Thank you for your advise 🙂Regards,/Fatima
