Question

Newbie to TLF

We just came to know of the TLF; we have a Flex 3.2 application with many reports that are comprised of numerous Text components; the performance we are experience with rendering all these Text components is subpar for our users as they are accustomed to HTML...does TLF offer a lighter weight/higher performance option, e.g., TextField, for rendering text?

Hi,

Not able to display bold and italics using TLF in Linux however it's working fine on Windows and Mac.

Is this a known bug with Text Layout Framework?

Please suggest.

TLF is not faster than TextField (sorry!). Do you have a link or a SWF you could send that illustrates your problem? This would be helpful to us in optimizing for use cases like yours.

Thanks!

Thanks for the quick response...to clarify, we are wondering if the TextField control is lighter weight than the traditional Text control...we have reports which may have 100+ text controls to display data and the performance of this approach is unacceptable...we have attempted to use Datagrid, TextArea, and HTMLtext but they all have issues with laying out the data in a nice column fashion without scrolls, etc.  You can see the application in action:

run a search (or you can run a recent search via 'Recent Searches' control)

from the grid, in the Options menu control, select 'View Agent Detail'

Data is coming back very fast via remoting, but the rendering takes 5-6 seconds - we believe because of all the text controls

Thank you for you help.
