I think You should look at the New Flash Player 10 API and Flex 4 and you might
have an easier time doing Buzzword. I havent't player around with the text
engine but it looks promising.

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Buzzword of Adobe
A boatload of work :)
There used to be a bit of information about how it was implemented, some of
it may still be around since Adobe bought the company. Not that I think Adobe's
hiding the info to be jerks or anything, I just don't know if it survived the
re-jigging of web sites, moving buzzword to acrobat.com, etc. I think the
original company had a blog with a fair bit of info in the past.
From what I remember, they're using a billion little UITextFields, one for
each line at least, and also breaking them up into every style change per line
as well, and building from there. But keep in mind I read that around 18 months
ago or something, so it may be completely wrong, or I may have in fact imagined
the entire thing :)

Hello all:
I found BuzzWord in Adobe offers very good function in terms of an editing
tool. It can break the text into pages in real time, and has the capability to
insert pictures.
Anyone has ideas about how to do it in Flex3?
Thanks.
