Re: AW: [flexcoders] Rich Text Editor
Easiest way is just to use a dynamic text field and make your own editor.
Re: AW: [flexcoders] Rich Text Editor
A response I got from the Buzzword team: Thanks for your feedback, and your focus on making Flex an even better platform for developing rich Internet applications. We have often heard the request for a rich editing component in Flex - it certainly would have made the Buzzword development task easier. There are a number of ways for Adobe to approach this, and I know the Flex team is looking at just such a capability for their next big release. A native component will be a better solution than any attempt to morph Buzzword in that direction. For more information on developments in Flex, you could check out Adobe Labs (http://labs.adobe.com). So do not put your hopes up for a buzzword component.

Re: AW: [flexcoders] Rich Text Editor
If you start with a simple one-line editor without rich. You can do this: 1. create text field instance (set dynamic, disable selectable, editable) 2. create your own caret cursor (simple drawing api) 3. create your own canvas instance (for the selection rectangle) 4. catch the keydown-events (to handle left, right keys, and to update the text etc.) 5. catch mousedown-event (to reposition the caret) 6. handle the selection yourself (caret position, selection start, selection end) 7. write method to resolve a x,y position to the character index (e.g that caret position ;)) 8. write method to resolve x,y position from a character index (to position to caret correctly) 9. write method to move the caret to this position Really easy! Second step would be to support multiline in a similar matter and then support richtext... Yours, Weyert

Re: AW: [flexcoders] Rich Text Editor
just go to the RichTextEditor.mxml in the framework source, i have attempted to extend it but changed my mind as most of the properties i wanted to modify were excluded in the original source. once i noticed the richtexteditor is a simple mxml page with really only 2 functions that i cared about- it was easy to create my own RTE (only with the formatting supported by the TextRange object though). check out the source, see how they built theirs- and you can decide if you want to extend it or develop one of your own. d.

That's a different part of the company, and I'm not aware of any plans to make it available in component form (either free or for money). I suspect that there are business reasons to keep it as an Adobe-only application for awhile, but I'm just an engineer and not involved in such decisions.

Does anybody found a good solution to implement RTE in f! lex? I tried the iframe solution but it seems that it has some problems with rendering, someone work it out how to fix it? I know there is some people from adobe here, so my question is Why Adobe does not make something decent about this issue? If adobe is trying to improve the flash player as much as they can, why do not spend some time in a decent RTE component? Any suggestion for any good RTE, even a paid one? Thanks Raf
