I am a newbbie.I am switching from dynamic textfields to TLF to accomodate the Arabic market(Right to left).In my app, I would drag to the stage a "speech bubble"(with a nested TLF component) from a graphics library.Then I would type something on a Editor(TLF component) and click submit.The text should appear in the "speech bubble" but I don't know how to do that.I can get the content from the Editor through                    var out:String = TextFilter.export(enteredText.textFlow, TextFilter.TEXT_LAYOUT_FORMAT, ConversionType.STRING_TYPE);Thanks

I am trying to fix the PMD violation (info) in one of my projects and I can't seem to be able to do so. I have added relevant copyright information in one of my action script files eg.///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Copyright (c) 2009 Jeffery Fernandez.// All rights reserved.

It still complained about the missing copyright headers. Can anyone point out what I am doing wrong?cheers,Jeffery

Hello folks,I need to use something like "</br>" tag inside paragraph tag in TLF but I can't find anything working. Is there a tag or something that could solve my problem? I use paragraphSpaceAfter to have a gap beetween normal paragraphs and I want to break a line without this gap. like thisAddressStreetphone no.1phone no.2EmailBtw I know that I can set paragraphSpaceAfter=0 between this two lines but when I have everything set up in AS class it is hard to do. I need this text to be fetched from a database and it has to be also updated via Flex-based admin site. So it would be easy if I could add <p paragraphSpaceAfter =0> between phone numbers but such tags are ignored in Flash with embedded fonts and other props of TextLayoutFormat. Am I right?So is there a tag that could do a trick, or how to force Flash to prefer tags in fetched text.cheers

Hi.When loading a long text using TextFilter.importToFlow, it freezes. (even with TextFlow.addChild(BIG_ELEMENT))Could anyone tell me how to avoid it or if it is possible or not?Thanks.Yoshiki

I just checked in some changes around the spark text components for Flex 4.  The summary is: Replace SimpleText with Label, a UIComponent version of the same component Instead of extending GraphicElement, RichText will extend UIComponent (like Label will) All of the spark text components will move to spark.components.*, so there will be spark.components.Label, spark.components.RichText, and spark.components.RichEditableText The base class for SimpleText and RichText, spark.primitives.supportClasses.TextGraphicElement, will now extend UIComponent (instead of GraphicElement) and be moved and renamed to spark.components.supportClasses.TextBase. All of our text skin parts will now be typed as TextBase instead of TextGraphicElement For now, RichEditableText and RichText will co-exist. Performance numbers showed that it may be possible to collapse them, but we don't have the time right now to do this. We will revisit this later on, time permitting. A more extensive writeup around the

I'm still familiarising myself with the Classes and methods of the Text Layout Framework.  I've been looking for how to achieve two very simple things.Can someone more familiar with this framework give me a lead?...1. How do I get at the Markup Text for a TextFlow?  I know how to import markup text - but where is it accessible after that?2. I can see how to set selection focus - but how do I lose it?  Unfocus?

HiI have used inlinegraphic using this i am able to insert images like chat text window. they remains in sigle line and i m unable to text wrapping around images. One Idea is to create several containers around image and write my own class to mange graphic alignment and other stuff. Does TLF provides any quick way for text wrapping around graphics?Thanks

I wrote some notes on TLF markup and published them on the TLF blog.http://blogs.adobe.com/tlf/2009/09/tlf-markup-overview.htmlIt's pretty basic - the goal is to give you the tools to understand the markup.Hope it helps!Richard

For some reason none of the resource bundles are being included in my application using the latest sdk checkout, what can this be from?- Compiler not generating the classes?- build file error?Thanks so much, I can't find a work around.Lance

Is there a way to list all the classes in the application (all the imports)?I would like to be able to get ahold of a list of the classes using the Compiler API or just in Actionscript.Thanks for your help,Lance

In the layouts, I need to perform certain actions just as the layout is basically "attached" to the group, and when it is "detached".  A few of the basic cases are hardcoded right in the GroupBase's layout accessor, such as setting the target to null and removing an eventlistener, and I would like to customize that.For instance, some layouts might modify the includeInLayout property on their children, or might add an offset to the position that's required for the layout, for centering, rotation, etc....  So when I switch layouts, I need to make sure I reset the defaults, in the "detach" method.public interface IAttachable{     function attach(target:Object):void;          function detach(target:Object):void;}You can also use that for an IAnimator, if there was one, and IController, or ICamera, ILayout, etc.- Lance

hi there as described in title, i'm having troubles exporting an InDesign comp in a decent waymy quesitons are:1 - It exists a DTD for Text Layout Framework Markup Language ?2 - Is there an export module that make me able to do it automatically? because tagging all the elements is a pain, and there is just a little documentation about the markup languageIf not, are there any plans to do it?I personally think that an export module will be very helpful and will score another goal on products' integrationThanx for your time

Hello,While trying to work with a revised version of the CSSFormatResolver class (created by timoisalive and posted on this thread) the compiler threw the following error:1061: Call to a possibly undefined method getChildAtIndex through a reference with static type flashx.textLayout.elements:FlowGroupElement.The method originates from within the invalidate() method of the CSSFormatResolver class. public function invalidate(target:Object):void {             delete _textLayoutFormatCache[target];            var blockElem:FlowGroupElement = target as FlowGroupElement;            if(blockElem) {                     for(var idx:int = 0; idx < blockElem.numChildren; idx++)            

Here's something I just thought about, trying to draw a distinction between Animations and Effects.ANIMATORS are what bring things to life.  They are acting on changes within the object it is a part of (or attached to) to make the changes in its properties look realistic.  All living objects should have an animator, like the way a plant or an animal has an "animator"... it doesn't move by something outside itself, unless acted on of course.EFFECTS are common types of animations the Animator performs.  For instance, and animator can "move" and "resize" an object, or "rotate", "pixelate", or even "bend" an object.  Those are all effects, but in the end the Effects are just modifying properties, through an Animator.TRANSITIONS are EFFECTS played between two states.  They aren't animations themselves, they're just triggers for effects.The Animator is the core object doing the animation, and should be part of an object, to bring it to life, but it can also act on ot
