I am the lead on a project that I really want to use flex on. However, I have a bit of a problem. Without going into a great deal of detail, I need to be able to generate and display mathematical equations within flex (complicated ones).
I had a few thoughts on the issue: 1. If I could have an outside script that could create the equations and save them as images, it would be fine. However, it would have to be web app - not a desktop one. If there were a library for PHP's GD Library or something like that. 2. If there were a Flash Component that could generate the equation, I could easily write a script to extract that data and save it in some useful format. 3. If I had to, I could leverage the browser and use the IFrame concept first demonstrated by Christophe Conraets. However, there is still no widely supported way of displaying equations in HTML (yes, I know about MathML - but it is still not fully supported in all browsers without plugins). I hope someone has an idea of how this could work best. David Tucker
