[Laszlo-dev] updated copy of Flex 4 compiler, text layout framework available for experimenting with

[Henry Minsky]

I just checked in an updated flex 4 release into the LPS tree, and it
contains the libraries for
the Flash text layout framework. Below is an example of how to compile a
call to the TLF libraries.



<canvas width="100%" height="80%" debug="true">
  <debug  fontsize="12"/>

<script when="immediate">
<![CDATA[

class foo {
    #passthrough (toplevel: true) {
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flashx.textLayout.compose.StandardFlowComposer;
    import flashx.textLayout.container.ContainerController;
    import flashx.textLayout.elements.ParagraphElement;
    import flashx.textLayout.elements.SpanElement;
    import flashx.textLayout.elements.TextFlow;
    }#

    /** Simplest possible "Hello, World" text example */
        public function foo(view:LzView)
    {
        var textFlow:TextFlow = new TextFlow();
        var p:ParagraphElement = new ParagraphElement();
        textFlow.addChild(p);

        var span:SpanElement = new SpanElement();
        span.text = "Hello, World";
        span.fontSize = 48;
        p.addChild(span);

        textFlow.flowComposer.addController(new
ContainerController(view.sprite, 400, 200));
        textFlow.flowComposer.updateAllControllers();
    }
}

</script>

     <view width="200" id="v1" height="100">
       <attribute name="tflow"/>
       <handler name="oninit">
          this.tflow = new foo(this);
       </handler>
     </view>
