I don't know if this will help you at all, but the TextField.Stylesheet
class has a transform() method which will convert _one_ of your style
objects from the Stylesheet (ie. The one you maybe assigned for the <a>
or the <p> element or <your_own_custom> element) into a TextFormat
object which you can then apply to your TextField with setNewTextFormat.
If you look at the archives, you'll see that you're not alone. the
textfield is one of the worst things i've ever seen. the thing that using
css makes TFs uneditable is only the top :-)
so let's start a petition against this class, as with coming 8.5 Player we
have video alpha, up-and download reg-ex and what not (even a new VM!!!)
but this little class is torpeding so much projects (speaking of backends,
yeah!) i cant stand it anymore!
so let's all stand up, and do sth. against this! we're loosing a market
right now.
You think you've got troubles: mostly I use Director...
Seriously, though, I think text is one area where we should expect to see
some serious improvements since the Adobe takeover. With all their pdf
people on board, they must surely have a lot of expertise to throw at this
(as long as they don't try to do something hideous like incorporating
acrobat into Flash...). The absolute biggest thing I need right now is a
version of what in Director is called 'charPosToLoc' (and the various
permutations of it): the ability to translate back and forth between
character positions and xy coordinates. And don't get me started about
proper inline image support.
