[flexcoders] Re: Inserting Flex Container to TLF?
Hi Alex! Thanks for the reply! Hmmm...I guess that's the only way to do it, huh? Any other suggestion? Again thank you!

Now there is a call that sets a virtual parent that you might be able to use to jump over all of the TLF parents to rewire the container into the Flex DOM. We use it in MX containers for scrolling since we put a non-UIComponent between the container and its children so we can clip it. No guarantees that will work though.

I don't know why that is but my best guess is the validation doesn't get called since TLF is not based on Flex. To verify this I tried another experiment by creating a subclass of RectangularBorder where the updateDisplayList overridden with code that has drawRect,and bla bla. I found out that updateDisplayList never gets called at all.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Inserting Flex Container to TLF?
What is the content of this container? If it is non-interactive, take a bitmap of it and insert that instead. If you are trying to get text to flow around it, Flex text widgets do not support that ,but TLF supposedly does.by setting up a set of TLF containers for the ContainerController to work with. Also, you can insert a dummy bitmap in the TextFlow and float a Flex container over that area. On 12/4/12 9:10 AM, handitan handi@gmail.com wrote: Hi Alex! Thanks for the reply!

Hi Alex, The content is a math formula where user could do CRUD operation. Dummy bitmap approach does sound interesting...I believe that's basically the state where I am right now with my changes. Really appreciate it, Alex! Hope Adobe treats you well! Handi --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Alex Harui aharui@... wrote: What is the content of this container?
