Question

When will the TLFTextField be fully available?

Hi,

We are using the new TLF in a project that requires a lot of font embedding and replacing the normal TextField by using the TextFlow and the TextFlowTextLineFactory in actionscript code. However, we also require input fields using the new font embedding. So the TLFTextField would be a great help in moving forward faster in the project.

So I hope someone can share some light on the TLFTextField or any other way to easily create textfields to be used in forms using the new font embedding.

Best regards,

Marco

Due to schedule constraints, for Flex 4.0, TLFTextField will only be usable in limited situations (no htmlText, no scrolling, no selection, no editing) and will not be on by default in any Halo components. We hope to offer a much more complete TLFTextField in a subsequent release.

The TLFTextField in Flex was renamed to FTETextField. I don't think they have any immediate plans to add functionality to it beyond what is there today. There is also a TLFTextField which comes with Flash Pro, which does implement the entire TextField API.
