Insert Custom Components into TextLine

Hi,

What is the best way to modify TLF so I can insert custom component into TexLines (others than inline images). For example I want to be able to insert a button and have the same behavior the inline images have.

Thanks in advance.

Text layout framework

If you're talking about Flex components like <mx:Button> or <s:Button>, they have to live inside of an appropriate Flex container. A text-displaying component like <s:TextArea> isn't such a container. (I.e., you can't put a Button inside a TextArea.) So I suggest using a TextArea/Button sibling combination like

<s:Group>

<s:TextArea>

<s:Button>

</s:Group>

where the TextArea's TextFlow has an inline graphic where you want the Button to appear, and you write ActionScript code to position the Button on top of the inline graphic.

Hi Gordon,

Thanks for your response. I think I didn't explain my idea correctly.

In the TLF you can add images, for instance, using InlineGraphicElement components. What I want to do, is be able to create custom component that can be inserted into, for example, a RichText component, in the same way the inline images (InlineGraphicElement) work. I want to extend TLF to support some other custom elements.

Thanks.
