So I have this complex TLFTextField vortex where I try to let user format text with … Bullet Lists for example. So … so so …. I have got this overly complex and deep question to whether some did write this API or was it thrown together by some spaghetti monster ? (ok, this is some intentional pun towards bad Adobe documenters not doing their work)
Here goes my question/remark/complaint/doom: Why is it /so/ hard to remove a ListElement ? If you wish to answer, don't bother reading, just get that: How can I remove a bullet list I added with EditManager.createList ? I see EditManager.createList (which works perfectly) but why on earth no one did a 'EditManager.removeList' ??? How can I remove a bulleted list I added with code ? Why is it not available per se in the EditManager public methods ? Since when do we use a Class to createSomething, and totally fail to provide the removeSomething part ? The only almost feasible way I found was using ListElement.moveChildren … but maaaan: this only happens to be a success if you don't add button that let the user decide when he/she wants to format some part of some text … This TLFTextField is quite a debacle. I wonder if Adobe people know that no one can handle such bad APIs and documentation :'( Cedric, all in flames. _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
