Paragraph Padding

Question

I'm trying to change the padding of a paragraph using this (doesn't work):

var pf:TextLayoutFormat = new TextLayoutFormat();
pf.paddingRight = 50;

IEditManager( textFlow.interactionManager ).applyParagraphFormat(pf);

I have several paragraph, but only want to change the padding of one of them. If I do this, I can change the padding of all paragraphs (the container padding):

var pf:TextLayoutFormat = new TextLayoutFormat();
pf.paddingRight = 50;

IEditManager( textFlow.interactionManager ).applyContainerFormat(pf);

Any ideas?

paragraphStartIndent and paragraphEndIndent.

Padding on paragraphs is not implemented in TLF 1.0, only padding on containers, as you note. However, you can get pretty much the same effect by using paragraphSpaceBefore and paragraphSpaceAfter properties. You can set this on the TextFlow, and it gets inherited and applied to the paragraphs, or you can set it on individual paragraphs.
