Re: How to assign tabs to a Spark RichtText with TextLayoutFramework

[Harbs]

Tab stops can be set in two ways: Shorthand and explicitly.

Shorthand would be something like this:
format.tabStops ="s150 s250 s550";

explicitly would be something like this:

var stops:Array = [];
var stop:TabStopFormat;
stop = new TabStopFormat();
stop.position = 150;
stop.alignment = TabAlignment.START;
stops.push(stop);
stop = new TabStopFormat();
stop.position = 250;
stop.alignment = TabAlignment.START;
stops.push(stop);
stop = new TabStopFormat();
stop.position = 550;
stop.alignment = TabAlignment.START;
stops.push(stop);
format.tabStops = stops;

You can use shrthand letters for each of the TabAlignment options (s,e,c or d). 
More details in the asdocs[1].
