TLF keyboard input

There are several different ways to get keyboard input. If you attach an EditManager as the interactionManager for a TextFlow, most keyboard input is handled automatically. There are examples of this posted on the Labs TLF site: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/textlayout.html, look particularly at the ActionScript examples, see EditText.as.

If you want to override the processing TLF does by default, there are several ways. You can, as tdminh81 suggests, override FlowOperations. Or you can derive from EditManager and override the keyDownHandler function. Or you can even derive from DisplayObjectContainerController and catch the event earlier in the sequence.

be patient with Adobe. TLF is changing :) many bad stuffs but i hope they will be cleared out. For now clean OOP is not possible.

if(e.operation is InsertTextOperation){

var op:InsertTextOperation = e.operation as InsertTextOperation;
distance = Math.abs(absoluteStart-op.absoluteStart);

// TAB processing
if(op.text == '\t' ){
bm = listManager.getBulletMapByPara(p);
if(bm != null){
if(bm.hasPara(p)){
if(distance <= 2){
e.preventDefault();
if(bm.isParaFirst(p)){
bm.setMargin(bm.margin+20);
}else{//not first line
var newbm:BulletMap = new BulletMap();
newbm.parentMap = bm;
bm.childMap = newbm;
newbm.margin = bm.margin+20;

bm.removePara(p);
newbm.addPara(p);
listManager.bulletMaps.addItem(newbm);
}
}
}
}else{.........

this is handler of FlowOperationBegin.
Hope this helps

no one suggestion?
