Hey,I'm real excited about actually integrating some of the things I've been working on into the Flex SDK, man!  What is the process for submitting a feature?  I have just created a sandbox account and am awaiting moderation, and have read that it needs to fit into certain standards, but what if I wanted to implement a whole new thing, what's the rule on that?Some questions I can't find answers to in the docs:1) What kind of testing/test apps do I need if I implement a feature?2) Does everyone use Eclipse or Flex Builder for Compiler and SDK development?3) What are the rules for adding properties to the core components?Thanks,Lance

I would like to ask if you guys could make a Compiler Code Generation API.  This would allow developers who would like to fine-tune details you guys probably don't have time to do, for projects we think its important on.  Specifically with [Bindable] and {} code generation.I would like to be able, and many others I'm sure, to turn Binding on/off (conditional binding), and add more complicated expressions, but that's currently impossible, unless I rewrote the core UIComponent and everything.  Or unless I had access to the generated code through a nice API which shouldn't take you guys long at all: you already are generating lots of code and have templates for it, I would just like to ask for easy access to those templates.Please let me know what you think.  Thanks a lot for your time.Lance

A new specification on supporting additional styles for Spark skins has been posted here:http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/More+Styles+for+Spark+SkinsFeedback and suggestions are much appreciated. Please see the open issues at the bottom of the spec page.

I have three separate editable textflows on my screen. When I give each one focus the blinking cursor appears, but when I take the focus off each container the blinking cursor remains, and it's not clear which container has the focus - I see 3 blinking at the same time.I can't seem to find any focus events in the docs. Is there a way to remove the blinking cursor when a container doesn't have the focus?

Can the font size of a character format be fractional, e.g. 6.5 or must it be an integer. In the manual, the data type is 'object' and the valid range is '1-720', which suggests it must be an integer but isn't unambiguous.Many thanks in advance for any replies.JcFxhttp://www.jcfx.eu

So, with the new open source text framework Adobe is now bundeling the TLF inside of the Flex SDK, as a Flash CS4 user I find this odd, i can understand the reasoning behind most coders are using flex to "code" and since TLF is implimented by code it should be bundeled in Flex...maybe. But I am argueing that the TLF should be neutral, I have been developing an application with a lot of custom graphics and animation that utlizes the TLF using Flash CS4, and having pretty customized type lends itself to be a 'pretty' detail that is more like a Flash behavior and I think it's unfair to assume TLF users will be Flex developers Ok, i am done crying.

Hello,Would any of you mind helping me get started with debugging the Flex Compiler source?  I would like to do something like breakpoints on the Java code so I can see how it works, I've never used Java though and don't know where to start.  Thanks so much, just a point in the right direction Best,Lance

                                    I have analyzed Spark components code recently and have come to the point that there is something missing. We are developing two really great mechanisms Skinning and Advanced Styling but they don’t work together as they should. I can’t see a clear line between visual aspects controlled by styles and by skins. And I really don’t like SparkSkin with ActionScript code in MXML Skin files (hope it is a temporary sollytion).I think we should think together and find a flexible solution which will allow us to take advantages of both Advanced Styling and Skinning.I have identified a number of requirements which this solution should fulfill:-        Styles should be used completely declaratively inside skin.-        It

We have our own DAO layer in our application and we have extended Responder with MyResponder.  We added some specific features to MyResponder that fits into our framework nicely.  Our DAO layer has functions likepublic function findByID(id:String, clientResponder:MyResponder, tokenMap:IMap) : voidThis framework is heavily code generated and extremely flexible (obviously I'm leaving much out that is not important to this post as well as the fact we are extending at the interface level also).I want to create a FlexUnit to make the async call to my UserDAO.findById("123", MyResponder);  But, Async.asyncResponder returns IResponder so I can not pass that into my DAO which required a MyResponder.  So how do I extend FlexUnit so that I can have Async.asyncResponder return a MyResponder object?  MyResponder does implement IResponder ultimately so as long as I can somehow make the implementation returned from asyncResponder be a MyResponder then I'm golden as I can sim

I got TLF to function on my work computer (XP-32) with no trouble.However, at home (XP-64), when I type in the TLF box in CS4, I only get ????? showing.If I copy and paste Arabic from Notepad into the text box, the arabic text shows up with no problem. I've tried using Adobe Arabic, Transparent Arabic, and Standard Arabic font with the same results.I don't know if this has anything to do with it but when I first installed the TLF component, it set it up in my Flash CS3 extension manager. After deleting it from there, I installed it again to the CS4 extension manager.Has anyone else had this situation? I can't figure out why my work computer and home computer are behaving differently.Thanks for any help.

Hi,I am trying to set the Text Flow on RichEditableText and using Embedded Fonts. for some kind of fonts(Embedded) I am seeing a ugly blinking insertion point (caret selection). I am using latest night build of Flex SDK 4. Any suggestions are  greatly appreciated.

Hi,I'm trying to get access to a line index in a paragraph at a certain point, for example mouse position. However, I only seem to be able to find methods to fetch line index at a text character position...Also, I'm struggling to be able to hold of the text (the actual characters!) on a line!Any ideas?-Timo

For example, try using the Scriptina font (http://www.dafont.com/scriptina.font) and use it in the Text Layout Framework.  You'll notice that the line heights aren't tall enough to fit this font.  This font works great with the normal TextField.Anyone have any ideas or ways to work around this issue?

I recently ran into a situation where one of my RunListeners was throwing an error (attempted to create invalid XML - oops). This produced some very strange results: my RunListener stopped receiving callbacks after this happened. I debugged it down to the line that was throwing the error, and noticed it was getting sucked up into this "SafeNotifier":Main Thread (Suspended) SafeNotifier/run org.flexunit.runner.notification::RunNotifier/fireTestFailure org.flexunit.internals.runners.model::EachTestNotifier/addFailure org.flexunit.runners::BlockFlexUnit4ClassRunner/handleBlockComplete org.flexunit.token::AsyncTestToken/sendResult etc...Is there any way around this? How might I go about catching an error in my RunListener? Or even better, letting the error cause a failure in the test that the current call into the RunListener is assocated with?Thanks!Brian

Just wondering if there is an ETA on beta 2 of FlexUnit 4? I'm debating on whether to wait for it or to pull source and create my own build.Thanks!Brian

Hello,I'm using Text Layout Framework running on Flex 3.2.  I'm trying to export the contents of a editable textFlow area as a string that retains full white space information, but that doesn't seem to be working.  For instance, if there are two white spaces after a period in between different spans (let's say I bold some text, or change the font), they ends up getting truncated out in the export to string.  This is the code that I'm using to perform the export in my editor. public function get text():String {      return TextFilter.export(_textFlow, TextFilter.PLAIN_TEXT_FORMAT, ConversionType.STRING_TYPE ).toString(); } So, is there some code I need to be inserting that I haven't considered as of yet?  I've done my best to turn the WhiteSpaceCollapse property of a given textflow to "preserve", but I believe that's applicable for import, not export. Thanks for the help! Justin
