TLF - need more documentation examples on...

[patrickIsHere]

So I've read through the pdf a couple times, and while it's handy on getting started, where does more complete documentation live that I can read/print about the different styles that are supported by TLF markup?  There's only a handfull of examples here, and there's no documetion with all the markup attributes that I can find. It's slightly frustrating since I want to:

Use a DIV Layer, with paragraph formats ( I am trying to make something look like a blog and want to render convert dhtml to TextFlow)

add IMG tags, i tried to use ones from my XHTML skills, no luck, images don't display

Add a linefeed after all paragraphs,

paddingTop doesn't seem to be applied to paragraphs, is there another way to do this

how to use the link tag and style

While the components are great, the documenation is lacking, why insn't this included in the ASDocs, there's a lot of information needed.

better examples seems like the place for it. Examples, note neccessarily projects to download, for fast reading and understanding

provide the best path to learning.

Thanks for your time,
Patrick

Some pointers, I hope these help you in getting to the next base

• See the flashx.textLayout package classes here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/

• http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flash/cs/using/WSd60f23110762d6b883b18f10cb1fe1af6-7d54a.html

• And of course this forum contains a lot of info too, but be aware that a lot of the older threads discuss now obsolete or chagned API's or fixed bugs.
  

• Padding is only supported on the container, if you want to give your paragraphs a margin then use the paragraphEndIndent (right margin), paragraphStartIndent (left margin), paragraphSpaceBefore (top margin) and paragraphSpaceAfter (bottom margin).

• Use TextImporter.importToFlow to import your HTML into a TextFlow.
  

• See also: supported HTML tags
  

• In the AS3 reference (first link above) you'll find a lot of simple samples to get you started.
