I've noticed that FXG, and Spark in general, has very few [Bindable] properties, while in Degrafa, almost every property is [Bindable], some of the classes event have class [Bindable] tags.  I am taking advantage of this greatly.Are you guys planning on making more of the properties [Bindable]?  Or does the compiler auto-generate custom [Bindable] events in the background (that would be very nice)?A reasonable compromise would be to have each property dispatch a custom "myNameChange" event, only if "target.hasEventListener('myNameChange')".  Otherwise this forces us into a position where, to bind to the properties, we have to extend every class and add that functionality.For instance, I would like to know when the "layout" changed on a skinnable container, and when "clipAndEnableScrolling" changes, but they're not [Bindable] like most of the other properties in there.To prevent a performance hit, you could just do something like Degrafa does, with custom events:[Bindable

Hi,If you use several dynamic ContainerContainer, the last container must NOT be empty. Otherwise you can get some #1009 error on text selection... in any case, it's my case.In my app, if the text in the TextFlow is not present in all containerController, it is impossible to select text. In the method scrollTimerHandler(event: Event) (on ContainerController), findFirstAndLastVisibleLine () return an array of null object, and an #1009 error is throws (lastVisibleLine is null).Now I test the existence of the text in all containerController, and it works fine. But It seems to me that is a little annoying if we not being able to create empty ContainerContainer...It's an unusual case of use ? The last ContainerController must not be empty? Perhaps, I use a bad way for the creation of containerControllers (even if it seems to me that this is not very complicated). anyone else with this type of problem?regardsFabien

Is there any way of stopping a FU4 test run that is currently in progress?Thanks,Brian

I found the TLF component in .net magazine issue 190.  I went through the tutorial and everything went smooth execpt for adding images.  After I insert the images and select send to stage, the images get deleted out of the editor and the stage doesn't update.  I do have the component selected on the stage that I want to apply the images to.  Any ideas?thanks

I need to determine the exact dimensions of a specific line of text within a ContainerController.  I want to specify the y coordinate (relative to the top of the ContainerController), and deal with the line of text nearest to that point.Prior to Flash 10 text capabilities, when I wrote my own primitive linked containers based on TextFields, I was able to utilise TextField methods such as getCharBoundaries(), getLineIndexAtPoint(), getLineOffset(), getLineLength(), etc... to obtain precise measurements about characters and lines.Does the Text Layout Framework have equivalent methods?  Or is it just a matter of working out which TextLine object is nearest to a particular y-coordinate (is there a method that does that efficiently?), and using various getAtom... methods?. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .For an overview of my e2publish application (which I abandoned a couple of years ago, and I'm now looking at reviving using the Text Layout Framework) - see http://www.e2easy.co.cc/e

Hello Adobe,my small team is planing to build an application by using Flex SDK. As far as I know the SDK is free for download. But we will sell our application. Is there any licenses that we have to buy to be able to do that.Best regards

Is it possible to do multiple packages in a single namespace in MXML without making a library project?<Application xmlns:myViews="package.one.*,package.two.*,package.three.*">That would be very useful because I keep my views in different packages (by use-case or whatever), and I end up having sometimes 10 namespaces like that.  If I could merge them into one, that'd be nice.Thanks for the tip,Lance

Looking at the turnkey project theory tests, I see that no matter how many combinations are tried for a given theory there's only one result shown for the whole series of tests.I'd been hoping to use theories to construct data-driven tests, but have one test per datapoint reported. For instance, I'd have a "theory" that my code should be able to import any given input file and not throw errors. Then I'd put the theory to the test over a large set of files and get individual test results for each file in the set.Is this stretching the theory idea too far? Or should I be able to make a runner that would do this the way I want (creating unique test IDs for each data point, running through the entire data set if errors are encountered, etc.).

Hi,I'm trying to work out the equivalents of custom anti-aliasing (in the Flash IDE) within the Text Layout Framework (using a TextFlow containing Paragraph elements.) I've searched everywhere but can find no anti-aliasing properties?Thanks,Jamie

Man, it's very difficult to customize the animation system in spark.  I realize that a lot of effort is going into it, but why not take a look at how simple and powerful openflux solved the problem?For instance, in Spark, mixed into the core of the ScrollBar and the Slider are "private" variables for an "Animation" object that controls animating scrolling.  Hardcore...  There are a few things difficult about this approach:1) You don't have access to that animator, other than through hard-coded instance methods that, if that philosophy were applied everywhere in Flex would get totally unmanageable.2) There is no consistency in the design in which these animators are used, no interface, it's almost like they're just there to solve some super specific case, but good luck trying to solve the next.3) It's built into the scrollbar, like the Scrollbar was built into the Flex 3 Container, and that wasn't the best idea.  A "ScrollBar" doesn't by nature need an animator that

... or what should I use insetd of?

I am building a reader app using the text layout and text flow, but I am having difficulty setting certain styles ('formats') on paragraphs, particularly related to padding and margins. If I take the tlf markup I create and import it into the adobe labs rich text editor, all is well. This leads me to suspect that there is a problem with how I/we are implementing the text flow renderer/controller.Note some styles do work, such as indenting, bold, font, etc.Anyone seen this behavior and have a possible cause/solution?Thx,d

This replaces tabEnabled as the way to remove a component from the tabbing loop. tabEnabled should be set to true for any component that can receive focus, and tabFocusEnabled determines whether the FocusManager will actually give it focus. If tabEnabled=false on a non-TextField, the player will sometimes momentarily remove focus and dispatch a focusOut when the component has focus and is later clicked on.

Any ideas if you're going to make more properties in Spark optionally bindable?public function set prop(value:String):void{     _prop = value;     dispatchBindingEvent("propChange");}protected function dispatchBindingEvent(type:String):void{     if (!suspendEventProcessing && hasEventListener(type))          dispatchEvent(new Event(type));}Doesn't seem to break anything.

In flex4, DisplayObjectContainerController was replaced by ContainerController,  there is no contentWidth and contentHeight in the new  ContainerController. So how can i get contentWidth and contentHeight which i used to autosize my sprite.

Hi,How we can achieve Two way binding between TLF and TextArea text, Keeping in mind that there may be multiple spans or multiple paragraphs.Please let me know this is very urgent for me.Rajesh
