Question

LigatureLevel does not work

Hi there,

after installing the Text Layout Framework (using: Flash CS4 on Mac Os 10.4.11) it says this text:

This extension installs TextLayout Flash Component Beta which is an ActionScript 3.0 based text component for Flash. Also installed is the Text Layout Flash Panel that can be used to set the text and text attributes of the TextLayout Flash Component.
To use the TextLayout Flash Component select the TextLayout component from the Standard Components in the Components Panel (Window>Components). The Text Layout Flash Panel can be accessed from the Window>Other Panels menu.
but I can't find the Text Layout Flash Panel there and neither can I find it under components.
But I can find this in the actions window:
flash.text.engine//ligatureLevel//properties//
which I think should belong to the TextLayoutFramework. I can choose options like "common, uncommon, exotic", ... just like it should be. But when I want to add this feature to a text frame it says that "current selection cannot have actions applied to it"
has anybody got an idea what went wrong? Is it some compatibility problem or something like that or did I just do anything wrong?
Would be really happy about some help!

You are looking at an older prerelease version of TLF, which came with a UI component for Flash CS4. I would suggest you get a newer version of TLF from the Flex Open Source drop. See here for more info: http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/tlf/Text+Layout+Framework. I would suggest you get the textLayout.SWC from the Flex open source site (there's a pointer there from the TLF open source page) and then just link to it from your Flash project. It won't have the component UI that the earlier prerelease version had, but it is more up to date and contains many fixes and other improvements.
