Question

Setting up classpaths for the TextLayout Component in FlashDevelop for Flash CS4

I'm trying to work with the new TextLayout Component in FlashDevelop.

Maybe I'm lazy but I've gotten used to code completion. I want to import things like TextFlow and ICharacterFormat. How can I import these classes and others from the flashx.textLayout package so that code completion will work in FlashDevelop?

I forgot to mention that I have searched my computer for these classes, but no luck. Someone told me that they're wrapped up in the TextLayout.swc, but how can I import them or get access to them?

For FlashDevelop do the following;

Download the TextLayoutFramework swcs, there are 3 of them;

Create new project in flash develop, put these swcs in the lib folder and in the flash develop panel on the right, ctrl click on them to select them all and right click, add to library.
