Ralf, Thanks. I had not previously looked at Deng.
For me, the challenge has been finding a Flash/Flex based WYSIWYG text editor that outputs valid, standards compliant HTML/XHTML for display in browsers. Am I correct that Deng only renders existing XHTML? That is, that it does not provide editing capabilities? Just now, in the course of writing this reply, I went back to the best Flash editor I had found, FlashTextEditor.com <http://flashtexteditor.com>, and I see an announcement from Dec 13, 2006 of a new version that supports CSS. (The announcement is also here: http://play.ground.gr/?p=103 ). But that is targeting FP8/AS2/Flash V2. If the creator of FlashTextEditor.com <http://flashtexteditor.com/> can get that all working for FP8/AS2/Flash V2, then he likely will be able to do it for FP9/AS3/Flex 2. I am cc'ing FlashTextEditor.com<http://flashtexteditor.com/>'s creator on this reply (using [EMAIL PROTECTED]). Maybe he will post back with information on a release date for a Flex 2 version :-) btw ... here is a link from Jesse Warden praising FlashTextEditor.com<http://flashtexteditor.com/>back in March 2005: http://www.jessewarden.com/archives/2005/03/flash_richtexte.html Best regards, g On 12/29/06, Ralf Bokelberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Claus Wahlers & Friends implemented a standards compatible browser library on earlier flash players, so i guess it's just a matter of time they or somebody else ports it to AS3.
