Forgive me for asking, Gordon, but could you give an idea of the status of support for tables and lists (<li>, <ol>, <ul> sort of thing) ? I appreciate you may not be able to comment, but if you are then any information would be most welcome. I had a good look at the pre release on labs and came to the conclusion that I might be able to implement something myself, but thought it might be better to see what came in the next preview or alpha. Rather than attempt what for me would be quite a testing project (to say the least) that could be obsoleted by that release, that's to say. Many thanks.
* regarding flowing text around images, I thought you might be able to do that quite nicely with linked containers and some existing flex layout components for a one off screen, but I chickened out completely when it got to putting that into some kind of parse-able markup. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] on behalf of Gordon Smith Sent: Tue 20/01/2009 21:51 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [flexcoders]TextLayoutFramework - support for graphics / swfs? A1: This is under investigation, but may not make it into TLF 1.0 / Flex 4.0. If it gets in, what will be supported will probably be a 'float' attribute on the <img> tag, allowing a graphic within the text to be pinned to the left or right of the container -- but vertically positioned based on where it appears in the TextFlow -- with the text wrapping around it. Wrapping text around an absoloutely-positioned graphic will almost certainly not be supported in the first release. A2: You should be able to set the 'source' of an <img> to a SWF. A Loader will get created to load the SWF. If you haven't specified the width or height, they'll be determined by the Loader.

Q1 I saw that there is support for inline graphics but is there support for wrapping text around an image? Q2 Is there support for an inline swf? ______________________________________________________________________ This communication is from Primal Pictures Ltd., a company registered in England and Wales with registration No. 02622298 and registered office: 4th Floor, Tennyson House, 159-165 Great Portland Street, London, W1W 5PA, UK.
