Re: [flexcoders] Re: TLF-based TextArea for Flex 3?
Can you point me to documentation that states that TLF can do what TextField’s html cannot? I just want to make sure you have to use TLF. I don’t know what it would take to make it work in Flex 3.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: TLF-based TextArea for Flex 3?
I see. Well, you might start by trying to backport Flex 4’s RichEditableText component. However, I would think that if there is only going to be one image per cell, you might be able to customize code more quickly than getting the backport to work.
