[flexcoders] Extending RichTextEditor
Hi All I know that Rich Text editor has bene brought up a load of times but there still doesn't seem to be any decent solution. I want a basic HTML editor that will allow me to style and lay out fairly simple text as content for webpages. I want to be able to add images, re-size them and to be able to add heading tags. I think I can fake the heading tags by extending the Existing Rich Text editor and simply appling a large font and a font weight of bold to text in the internal html text. the get htmlText would re-convert this to a h1 tag. For the images I would ideally like to be able to select an image in teh text field then edit the alt, width, height ect. To do this I need to be able to get at the images within the field. Does anyone know how I can do this? I've looked at the children of the textArea and so on but no sign of any images. It seems ridiculous that Adobe provide such a poor implentation of this very useful tool. It's also odd that no one has provided a good alternative yet. Thanks Giles.
Re: [flexcoders] Extending RichTextEditor
Well at least Adobe provide something :) They can't make very complex RTE because it is too complicated and people usually want customized components to suit their needs. Feel free to extend it or make your own from scratch and don't forget to share it :) Adnan Giles Roadnight wrote: Hi All I know that Rich Text editor has bene brought up a load of times but there still doesn't seem to be any decent solution.
