RE: [Flashcoders] Word processor in Flash
I didn't ever notice because my audience is 100% IE, but now that I tested it in Firefox, yeah, pasting into a text input field in Firefox (Flash player 9) does not work. Must be a bug of some kind.

Re: [Flashcoders] Word processor in Flash
Gregory, Just out of interest have either you or Jason noticed that there's a problem pasting text into flash on Firefox? I posted a thread on this recently and found that 6 out of 22 people with the latest install of FF where experiencing it.

RE: [Flashcoders] Word processor in Flash
Hmmm, I dunno - I'm just using the standard Flash HTML formatting for this project. The TextFormat class uses tags.

RE: [Flashcoders] Word processor in Flash
Jason, I've read carefully through your recent "flash WYSIWYG editor" thread. Glad you've found an appropriate solution. Have you used styles in your text? I faced a task to build flash WYSIWYG editor for CSS-based html. But TextFormat technology allows to create only "standard" flash html (e.g. with FONT tags). Is there a way to produce clean HTML/CSS code, without deprecated FONT tags? Just asking before start digging myself... -- Best regards, GregoryN http://GOusable.com Flash components development.

RE: [Flashcoders] Word processor in Flash
I recently went through this - and am still building one now for a project. You can use the TextFormat class - works nicely for the text. However, it doesn't handle img tags - so it's very difficult to insert an IMG tag and then manually delete it later because in so doing, it screws up Flash's internal reference table for the TextFormat tags. What I ended up doing instead was keep text separate for images - putting images on their own movieclip and then letting the user position that. I put handles on the text areas and movie clips to move them, move them to the front (depth management) and delete, and also resize for the text.
