further info, even though I suspect that I am the last one on earth using this framework ………
// init var fmt:TextLayoutFormat = new TextLayoutFormat(); var tmpInt:ISelectionManager = field.textFlow.interactionManager; var editManager:EditManager = new EditManager(); field.textFlow.interactionManager = editManager; // wrap up the format change in a composite operation editManager.beginCompositeOperation(); var fmtSelectionState:SelectionState; // select the desired text and apply the new paragraph format fmtSelectionState:SelectionState = new SelectionState(field.textFlow, beginIndex_p, endIndex_p); editManager.applyParagraphFormat(fmt, fmtSelectionState:SelectionState); // create the list editManager.createList(null, fmt, fmtSelectionState:SelectionState); editManager.endCompositeOperation(); // restore the original interaction manager field.textFlow.interactionManager = tmpInt; See my intent ? instead of editManager.createList(null, fmt, fmtSelectionState:SelectionState); I want to replace that line with: editManager.removeList(null, fmt, fmtSelectionState:SelectionState); would be amazing!
