That;s what I do :            str = "Some example text with <b>bold</b> and <i>italic</i> or <b> even one <i>and another</i></b>.";            this.textFlow = TextFilter.importToFlow(str,TextFilter.HTML_FORMAT);And the textflow is (TextFilter.export(this._textFlow,TextFilter.TEXT_LAYOUT_FORMAT, ConversionType.STRING_TYPE);  😞<TextFlow paddingRight="inherit" paddingTop="inherit" verticalAlign="inherit" lineBreak="inherit" paddingBottom="inherit" paddingLeft="inherit" whiteSpaceCollapse="preserve" xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/textLayout/2008"><p><span>Some example text with </span></p><p><span fontWeight="bold">bold</span></p><p><span> and </span></p><p><span fontStyle="italic">italic</span></p><p><span> or &l

Hi All,I'm trying to use the new cairngorm with Flex4 (night build SDK) and got some strange errors, Is there an example of cairngorm 3 usage with the new Flex?Thanks in advance,Lior

Hey,This might be a slightly unrelated question, but I've seen a Flash Text Engine guy post in here so I'll give it a try. You guys quite probably also know the answer to this one. So:For a simple tab-becomes-spaces type of rendering, which is default/common in source code editors, \t is expanded to become spaces or just rendered as a 4/8-space tab.Is there any way to do such a thing with TextBlock.tabStops or any other FTE feature?Is this done anywhere in TLF maybe?It seems like tabStops work more like tabs in a normal word editor, is that the idea?ThanksErik

Hi,It is actual for commonly used Polish Programmers keyboard layouts. To input ż character right Alt+z key should be pressed. But in TLF editor if you try to input ż character by pressing right Alt+z all previously typed text is vanished.It easily can be reproduced in demo:http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/textlayout/demos/This issue is really very sad for the Polish users. Could be done something to fix it soon?Thank you.

I ran a few test to check memory issues. If I populate a TextElement with 100,000 characters and then do just one createTextLine I see the memory usage jump about 18 megabytes. So I create one textline, do not add it to the display list, and I see the memory increase. If I don't call createTextLine (but do everything else), then I do not see the radical increase in memory usage. I paired this down to 50,000 characters and to me it looks like somewhere on the order of 150-200 bytes is being used for the storage of each character. Just a guess but can someone shed some light on this.Seems to be a direct correspondence between number of characters and the extreme use of memory for each character, so that is how I arrive at the approximate 150-200 bytes per character.Since this has nothing to do with reusing textLines etc... Is this kind of issue resolved in 10.1 ?Don

This caused the buttons to be in an intermediary state between the mouse up event and the mouse click event. I've added a new protected method called buttonReleased() that is called during the mouse up handler when the mouse is captured and when the mouse is hovering over the button. This allows the button to smoothly transition between states like down and overAndSelected without passing through the over state. I also separated out some of the systemManager mouse up handlers into a separate handler.ToggleButtonBase.as, RadioButton.as - Moved the update code from clickHandler to buttonReleased.QE notes: NoDoc notes: NoBugs: SDK-22800Reviewer: EvtimTests run: checkintests, Button, ToggleButton,

I am making a class that extends EditManager and I wanted to access pendingInsert but it is a private var, so I can not.  Is there a way around this?  Are private vars much better for memory, why not use protected?

Hi.I have a problem with text align in text field.Let's say that I have a text field with htmlText:"Text example          "- when I set align for this text field like this:var _format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();_format.align= TextFormatAlign.CENTER;   text_field.setTextFormat(_format);- it ignores whitespaces at the end of the line.Same thing for TextFormatAlign.RIGHT.Can I change this behavior using new text layout framework?

Hi,Just to be sure - I'm afraid it's not possible having read many threads.Is there a way (special character or element) to ask for a column or 'block' (container) break as with InDesign ?TIA,J.

I am able to get text (all or part) out of an exisiting TextFlow using either TextFilter.export or textFlow.interactionManager.createTextScrap(). However, I can't seem to figure out how to insert text into a TextFlow (after the initial TextFilter.import). I see textFlow.interactionManager.pasteTextScrap(textScrap) but that requires use of the clipboard. If I use TextFilter.import, it replaces everything and it seems that I need to recreate all the ContainerController objects, etc. I see IEditManager has a replace function, but that doesn't really help me to append text or to replace all the text with new text. I assume I am just missing something obvious.

I have changed the core UIComponent so that there are no events dispatched on accessors that aren't being bound to, and I already see a nice performance improvement.I've noticed too that in just clicking on a Panel, for instance, with a VerticalLayout, it has to run through and relayout all of its children, and do all kinds of unnecessary processing.  Should be a boolean or bitmask that prevents that whole cycle.

Using Eclipse, latest build, on a Mac, I'm stepping through the FlexPMD code.  I enter in the debug configuration the parameters "-s <src dir>" and "-o <output dir>".  Those arguments are successfully passed into FlexPMD but when the FileUtils tries to locate the Flex source files, I have some ActionScript, *.as, files in the <src dir>, I get an error:Exception in thread "main" net.sourceforge.pmd.PMDException: sourceDirectory does not contain any Flex sources (Specify the source directory in relative (not absolute))    at com.adobe.ac.pmd.files.impl.FileUtils.getFlexFiles(FileUtils.java:107)    at com.adobe.ac.pmd.files.impl.FileUtils.computeFilesList(FileUtils.java:52)    at com.adobe.ac.pmd.FlexPmdViolations.computeFiles(FlexPmdViolations.java:128)    at com.adobe.ac.pmd.FlexPmdViolations.computeViolations(FlexPmdViolations.java:92)    at com.adobe.ac.pmd.engines.AbstractFlexPmdEng

Hi,Vocalization diacritics are rendered as independent characters.Vocalization diacritics should be rendered combined and merged with the characters preceding them like in the third line of the attached image.Have a look at the SWF:1) The first line is aTextLayoutComponent which uses Adobe Arabic as en Embeded Font.2) The second line is using the System Font Adobe Arabic.Does anyone have an idea ?I personally think, when you choose System Font, it uses System Text rendering Engine. But if you embeed font flash has problem with rendering the diacritics properly.

From what I understand, to customize a ruleset for our development needs, we would have to modify, or add, to the java source and rebuild FlexPMD.  Is that correct?ThanksBrenda

Halp!  I'm new to the TLF, I've spent about 45 minutes digging through the docs but it's not clear to me how to map a mouse position over to the underlying character position, in the convetional TextField this was done via TextField.getCharIndexAtPoint(x,y);I did see a getCharacterAtIndex(index) but I don't know how to get that index first.
