I have built a rich Text Editor for Flex 4 using the instruction in the following link: [URL]
it works great. I want to be able to add link to it (user selecting text to link it to external web page). How do I do that?
implement Rich Text Editor with link support if you have any.
Is there is there a way(may be very complicated) to display images in the text area from htmlText property in AIR2?P.S. I know that AIR ignores img tags in HTML content due prevent possible phishing attacks.
View 1 RepliesIs there a way to restrict the number of characters in the Flex Rich Text Editor? I guess there should be, since it's possible in a textarea. So, if I could get hold of the textarea contained in the rich text editor, I would be able to do it
View 1 RepliesI am creating a rich text editor -- and I have found many things convert from textformat to HTML like below marked 1. but then when I get to links and align of the editor -- I am not certain the best approach I am doing a search and replace string method on the html text field (the code is marked 2) but it is not that easy and I was wondering if there was a cleaner approach. And that is just the writing of it. Removing it is even harder but I won't get into that I am just trying to find a easer way.

I've been trying to build a user interface that would allow someone to change the content of a dynamic field (loaded from a text file) using a rich text editor. However the editor inserts inline css style tags like <span style="text-decoration: underline;"> which Flash aparently can't understand. If the editor were instead to insert the following: <span class="ul"> where the stylesheet defined it as:

I uses ajax rich text editor. I want to input a flash file into this editor.
View 1 RepliesFirstly, I am using a TextField object of type input as the text input area of the text editor. So I am wondering, in your opinion, what would work best for formatting the text in this field?[code]...
Remember the text will always be changing at the user's whim in the movie, and I am looking for simplicity in applying certain styles to only selected portions of the input text and also setting styles for all future text that is input beyond what is already input (Could be a different style than that of the text already input)
Secondly, I am having a little trouble with the TextFormat Object option. I have a textfield, and a toolbar movieclip (with buttons such as bold, underline, italics, etc) on my stage. I am writing an actionscript class for the toolbar. I want to be able to capture the start index and end index of highlighted text in the textbox, so that say when I press the bold button, the text is bolded or unbolded. I have tried using Selection.getStartIndex() and Selection.getEndIndex() but they have not yet worked for me, as the selection loses focus when I click on the toolbar in the movie. I was hoping there was some sort of onHighlightText handler for the Selection class, so that I can capture the start and end indices whenever text is highlighted. However, there appears to be nothing with that functionality.
I want to save the "rich" text to a database, and load it later.So how can I get and set the rich text?I looked at the API and there is a property called text which is only PLAIN text, not what I need. There is another property called textSnapshot which sounds like maybe thats what I need to use, but its READ-ONLY so I can't set it?It turns out I am only going to save it from a RichTextEditor, and I need to set it has htmlText on a Text control,so is there a way to get the rich text and convert it to hmtlText?
View 1 RepliesI have a flex (flash builder 4) application with a rich text editor control. I am storing this rich text output in a database via zend amf <--> php.
Now I want to display the first part of that text in a data grid. To do so it seems it might be easiest to get the plain text version.
I am hoping I can somehow convert it to plain text in PHP before I pass it back to flex?

View 2 RepliesIs it possible to capture rich text when pasting into Flash? Using a Flex TextEditArea, I can paste richly formatted text within Flash itself, but if I try to paste from an external source (say web page, microsoft word, etc) it comes in as plain text. Same for the reverse: if I copy rich text from within Flash, and paste to an external source, it goes out as plain text.
View 2 RepliesSo I want to store richtext in my database created from Flex 3's rich text editor, but I am unable to.
for example this would need to be placed into the database:
<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#0B333C" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">sdfsdfdsfsdfdsf</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT>
Is it because of all the special characters?
Is it common practice to store formatted text in a database?
I have some rich text created using the flex (flash builder 4) rich text input control. I want to display at least some of it in a column of an AdvancedDataGrid control.
View 2 RepliesWe have an image editor in Flex to add text and other changes. Once all the changes are complete, we need to save this to the server.We are using php to save the images by accepting coordinates from flex about what all edits are made for that image. Using this we are editing that image using imagick function in PHP. But the problem is output is different from what we see in flex. The issue is mainly with text alignment in flex editor and in the output we get after editing in php.Is there any other way to do this without making the user to wait for a long time to save the images? Is it possible to get the correct coordinates of text from that flex editor. Our issue is flex is passing the x,y of the container of that text editor. For this reason, test is misaligned in the output.
View 1 RepliesNoob question, I hope. I need to create scrolling text areas with rich text format content. I know I can use the textArea component and set the htmlText property but converting all of my RTF to HTML is gonna be a major pain in the @$$. I keep getting into trouble thinking what's mindlessly easy in Director/Lingo is gonna be reasonably simple in Flash/AS3, I hoping this is just my inexperience with Flash getting in the way. Is there an easier way? I thought of embedding a PDF document but apparently that's not an option in Flash either (note: I know how to link a PDF doc, I need this text to display and scroll within the application, not just pop a new window on top).

View 3 RepliesI have a rich text component with large amount of text. How to add vertical scrollbar to it? I tried:
<mx:Canvas width="100%" height="100%" verticalScrollBar="vsb">

</mx:Canvas>
<s:VScrollBar id="vsb" height="100%"/>

How is it possible to DISPLAY text with simple formatting (like font color) in flash TextArea or similar control? I need to add text to this control programmatically and be able to select and copy portions of it to clipboard.
RichTextEditor does not fit my needs sine it has multiple controls to allow user to format text and no way to disable them (?).
UPDATE
how to code formatting. Only <b> does work in the following code:
private function Print(s:String, ... optionalArgs):void {
if( optionalArgs.length == 0 || optionalArgs[0]==0) {
mLog.htmlText = mLog.htmlText + '<b>' + s + '</b><br>';

My mistake was I was using symbolic color names, while flash interpreter looks like do not understand them
I have a requirement to come up with a time line chart and a few more controls on a single page[with rich ui]. I have short listed Flex, JSF[apache trinidad], html5, gwt these technologies. None of them provide timeline charts on their own. I am looking at other options such as using third party libraries. The chart should have drill down capabilities as well. Let me know if there is any specific technology that I should try.
View 3 RepliesFor an internship, I'm gonna have to develop a desktop application. The focus is creating a rich UI ( cool effects, sound etc ). Which tech should I go with ?
- Flash ? ( in this case, shoud I go with a flex project ? AIR ? what is the gain between this and a simple raw flash project )
- C#/Silverlight ?
