RE: [Junk E-Mail - MED] [flexcomponents] Re: WYSIWYG Rich Text Editor for Flex 2

[Shannon Hicks]

The technical problem behind such an editor is that _javascript_/dhtml editors have a unique advantage... The browser the user is using has a HTML/CSS rendering engine built in and available for such use. Now, imagine trying to squeeze a rendering engine into Flash Player 9, and what a mess that could turn out to be, not to mention a much larger download.   Shan From: flexcomponents@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of supertodda Sent: Thursday, September 21, 2006 7:35 AM To: flexcomponents@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Junk E-Mail - MED] [flexcomponents] Re: WYSIWYG Rich Text Editor for Flex 2 Thanks for your post. This is a bit worrisome. I always wondered why there isn't a good WYSIWYG rich text editor in flash / flex. I do know of the flash based Obedit (http://www.oblius.com/?projects.obedit) , which is better, but still sort of basic compared to the many many _javascript_ / dhtml editors for the web. To compete with the likes of AJAX, Adobe might want to consider creating a component like this. Is there an official Adobe response, or do I need to post on an Adobe site to get an official response? Does anybody else find their customers needing a good WYSIWYG Rich Text component?
