Mobile optimized textflow element

In the Name of God

Hi!

I am doing a project in Hero/Burrito which needs complex text functions (it renders complex script languages). The usual RichText and RichEditableText elements are discouraged by burrity saying that they are not mobile optimized. If so, then what is the lightest and mobile optimized TFL enabled component that I can use?

I have like 200 medium paragraphs automatically generated from XML in a list and it is not so hard to see that using a richtext component will make scrolling very stuttery.

Any idea?

Have you tried using RichEditableText and found scrolling problems? Do you need editing? If not, you could use TextArea. The TLF-based Flex components are not mobile optimized, but for some use cases they do work adequately. The main problem with using TLF on mobile is the load time, since TLF is a relatively large actionscript library. Once the code loads performance can be OK in some cases. There is not a mobile-optimized Flex text component based on TLF, unfortunately.
