Thanks Gordon. I guess that is the best place to keep looking for documentation* on the text components? (Looks to me like it's updated from when I last had a look at it a few weeks ago, in any case)
I had a brief try at a Text editor, it's not exactly rich and it does "suck goats" ! :) But it did look to me as if it won't be too hard to implement (and could be well featured) when Gumbo matures. If anyone is interested find it here http://ifeedme.com/blog/?p=31 (but be warned that it really is a bit rubbish to say the least) * as far as you can document something in the early stages, of course. -----Original Message----- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com on behalf of Gordon Smith Sent: Thu 04/09/2008 20:41 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Buzzword of Adobe http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Gumbo+Text+Primitives Gordon Smith Adobe Flex SDK Team From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matt Chotin Sent: Wednesday, September 03, 2008 5:27 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Buzzword of Adobe Oh, and check out the Text specs on the Gumbo page to see more details around the text controls we have. The RTE portion isn't in there, and we don't plan on doing something extensive, but that's really more of a chrome issue, the text itself will support pretty good markup without the need for what Buzzword does.

Dave Coletta has a blog here: http://www.colettas.org/ I must say this sort of post, and the recent Scene7 discussion makes me nostalgic for a failed project I worked on at Apple. OpenDoc would have allowed developers large and small to build components that could live together in compound documents. I reminisced here: http://flexygen.wordpress.com/2007/12/21/flex-and-opendoc/ Wouldn't it be great if buzzword was extensible and if a buzzword module could extend other apps? ______________________________________________________________________ This communication is from Primal Pictures Ltd., a company registered in England and Wales with registration No. 02622298 and registered office: 4th Floor, Tennyson House, 159-165 Great Portland Street, London, W1W 5PA, UK.
