HI, Just in case anyone needs a simple test to try it out: <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="vertical"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import com.adobe.linguistics.spelling.SpellUI; private function enableFeature():void { SpellUI.spellingConfigURL = "SpellingConfig.xml"; SpellUI.enableSpelling(textArea, "en_US"); } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:TextArea id="textArea" width="20%" height="20%" fontSize="30" text="Spell cheecking in TextArea "/> <mx:Button id="check" label="spell check" click="enableFeature()" /> </mx:Application>
SpellingConfig.xml: <SpellingConfig> <LanguageResource language="US English" languageCode="en_US" ruleFile="./data/en_US.aff" dictionaryFile="./data/en_US.dic"/> </SpellingConfig> You need to provide en_US.aff and en_US.dic file and place in a data directory but these can be found in many places. eg Adobe's version of Squiggly or it looks like from the Open Office extensions site [1] Thanks, Justin 1. http://extensions.openoffice.org
