I'm trying to build a rich text editor with the TLF/FTE apis as well as using the Spark TextArea component found in the latest Flex 4 SDK. I need to apply formatting to a selected range of text and/or start a new 'format group' (so to speak) so the user will begin typing in the format that he/she has chosen. I'm able to get selected indexes of the text via TextArea.selectionActivePosition and TextArea.selectionAnchorPosition, but how do I migrate this information to use it with the TextFlow object?In the old pre FP10 api, you can just apply a TextFormat using the TextField.setTextFormat method and apply the default text format by setting the TextField.defaultTextFormat property. Is there a way to accomplish similar functionality in TLF/FTE? Here are a few usage scenarios:1. A user selects a range of text in the TextArea and uses a ComboBox to set the font of the selected text. The selected text has the new font applied to it.2. A user puts his text caret in the middle of some text and

Hi all,In Flex 3 SDK Container.as has method getChildren() and rawChildren property typed as IChildList.But In Flex 4 the interface IVisualElementContainer does not have a definition for getChildren() > thus neither SkinnableContainer nor Group have this method defined.Was this decision made deliberately to simplify the interface API?I find it convenient to have "getChildren" method implemented inside Group and SkinnableContainer,  for example this can be useful if I want to access all visual childs of those containers to pass them along to some manager class or to dynamically set some common property of all childs ( e.g visibility).

I just read this about accessibility:http://joshblog.net/2007/08/15/no-documentation-for-flash-and-flex-component-accessibility/I've been asking people about why they would ever use HTML over Flex, and most people complain either about Accessibility, Text processing (how performant is the text engine), and crashing 80's computers.Question is, is Accessibility going to be improved in Spark?  or Flex 4?  Or what are the plans with that?Thanks!Lance

Hello,I saw that bug FLEXPMD-69 is "UNRESOLVED" however the status is "CLOSED". What does it mean?Currently with RC4 I cannot suppress one specific violation even if I put // NO PMD ViolationName at the end.It suppresses all violations.Should I create a new bug or add a comment in FLEXPMD-69?Thanks,Smirnoff

I have been creating a test suite for an API that my company has been developing and have run into a bit of a snag trying to create tests for a couple of our async callback functions. I have tested a number of our async events properly using the addEventListener and addAsync combination and they have worked brilliantly, but these last couple are slightly different.The issue I am running into now is that these problematic async callbacks are not firing an event but just returning a url and so the function signature doesn't match what is expected by the addEventListener/addAsync combination I had been using so far for testing. Is there a different approach required to test an asynchronous method that is not firing an event??Thanks in advance for your help.

I was wondering if we have something for automating an assertion for a specific error that should not occur, rather than the test failing. This would be the opposite of expects="Error...". This may sound like an edge case, however I find that from time to time I like to test that a specific error has not occured, and it would be nice to do so outside of a try..catch block.Perhaps there may be something already in place that I am not aware of?Best,Eric

newbie question. The class I want to test dispatch events, how do I test for this the proper way? I only see tests about the result returns when calling a class ( whether the return is asynchrone or not, that's another topic I would say), but I think it's fair to also tests that events are properly fired isn't it? or am I going the wrong way?Thanks, Jean
