Buzzword currently runs on Flash Player 9 and renders its text by using multiple instances of TextField. It doesn't need Astro to do what it does today. But it seems likely that Buzzword will migrate to use the improved text features in the libraries that are under development along with Astro. These libraries will give developers all kinds of abilities that TextField doesn't offer. Gordon Smith Adobe Flex SDK Team

With this new architecture, text becomes an extensible part of the platform -- new text layout features can be delivered without requiring a new player release." I hope this is true! I'm working mainly on text intensive application. One is a text editor for math teachers and the second is a note taking app. I want multi-level bullets, tables and images!
