TLF with Flex Spark RichText ColumnCount - only getting one column

Hey, I'm new to using TLF, I'm just trying to get a block of text to display its text flow as 3 columns.  I'm using the Spark RichText control (this uses the TLF right?).  I have given the control an explicit width of 800 and a height of 200.  I've then attached a css style wich specifies a columnCount of 3 for the control.  I then populated the controls content property with xml representing a textflow using the tlf markup.  I expected this to result in 3 colums of text that are 200px high and each one around 253px wide (allowing 20px columnGap).
However the actual result is a single column that is 253px wide and the text extends beyond the 200px bounds of the RichText control wich does seem to have the correct height of 200px.  So it seems the TextFlow is getting that it needs to fit into the columns correctly but it's ignoring the height of the RichText container and so never reaches a bottom so that it can break over to the next column.
How do i get the RichTexts textflow to listen to the RichTexts height and break over to the next column when it reaches the bottom.  Do i need to be setting the height of the text flow or somthing.
I'm using the flash builder/ gumbo beta release from the adobe labs site and the TLF version that comes with that version of the sdk.  So maybe this is a bug? I cant find any tutorials or solid info about how to use the RichText control to make columns of text so everything I have done here has been guess work, is there anything i am missing?
Heres the relevent code bits....
<s:RichEditableText 
id="shippingBody"content="
{SHIPPING_COPY}" styleName="
footerBody"height="
200" width="800" />
public  
<TextFlow xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/textLayout/2008"><p>
<span>doopey dooo Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet... </span>
</p>
</TextFlow> ;
 static var SHIPPING_COPY:XML =  
.footerBody { 
font-family: Verdana; 
color: #999999; 
font-size: 10pt; 
line-height: "200%"; 
trackingRight:"10%"; 
font-grid-fit-type:pixel; 
column-count:3; 
text-align: justify; 
text-align-last: left;}

Hey just a quick update to let you know this seems to be working now! not too sure whats happend, tried a few different things then ended up back at my origional possition and it has broken up into the columns!  I feel like I hit an old TV on the side and the picture went clear .
One thing of note that held me up for a while...  I read in the decs that the default column gap is 20px so i didn't bother to change it... turns out it wasn't, it was 0px.  Combine this with some confusing looking lorem ipsum copy, and I had what appeared to be a solid block of text... meaning i had my 3 columns for a while without realising my achivement... just a little tip incase anyone else out there stumbles on the same thing

  • Mt iPhoto library has disappeared from my laptop after syncing my new iPhone with the laptop. I now have a new iPhoto library with no photos. I have tried pressing option when opening iPhoto but I only get one library option and can't find my old one

    My iPhone4s was recently replaced by apple due to grey out on wifi. when I went to sync with my laptop my iPhoto library disapeared and I was left with an empty library. I cannot find my old library on my laptop. I only get one option for a library when i open iPhoto while holding down option key. I am worried I have lost all my photos. there seems ot be no iPhoto library on my iCloud either.
    Any suggestions?

    Syncing with an iPhone should not delete the iPhoto library on your mac. It only will upload photos to the phone (iTunes sync) or import (connecting by USB). How did you sync your phone?
    TD, do you know of any way, that a sync could delete an iPhoto Library on a Mac?
    You may have opened a wrong library or may be working from a different user account. Are you using the same user name and Apple ID as before?
    How have you searched for iPhoto libraries? Have you searched with Spotlight?
    Each iPhoto library contains a file called "Library6.iPhoto" - even if your iPhoto library should no longer be recognisable as photolibrary, this file should be found:
    Type "Library6" into the "Spotlight" search field in the upper right corner of your screen, like this:
    When you see a list of files, select one of them and hold down the key combination ⌥⌘ to reveal the path to the file.
    If Spotlight cannot find the file in the packages, use "FindAnyFile"  http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile

  • Only getting one channel of audio with mic HELP

    I had been using Garageband with the built in mic to do my podcasts. I just got some real gear.
    Here is what I got... M Audio USB fast track, MXL V63MBP running on 10.3.9
    I am only getting one channel of audio through the mic. I have the settings on the mixer right and I have gone in the sound preferences and made sure it was right.
    On the track in garageband, I made sure that the real instrument settings were set to Stereo. I have been messing around with this thing for an HOUR and I am still only getting one channel of audio. I've done everything I've been able to come up with in google and still nothing works. If anyone has any ideas ,that would be swell because I'm beginning to think that the crappy built in mic on my mac is looking really good about now.

    You're welcome.
    The common confusion is that 'Stereo" means two speakers and "mono" means one. Stereo actually means two different signals going to the two speakers. Since a Mic is a mono input device, you set the track to mono so that the same sound comes out of both speakers. Enjoy --Hang

    Hi macbig,
    I finally got to look at my sister's computer. The HDD "Repair Disk" found missing threads, missing directory records, etc. and ended with:
    Error: Disk Utility can't repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-
    up files.
    Then, I tried "Verify Disk" and it found invalid volume file count and ended with:
    The volume Macintosh HD was found corrupted and needs to be repaired.
    Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Click Repair Disk
    I guess running Apple Hardware Test is not going to happen. :/
    I've ordered online a new 2.5 disk, make a Maverick boot USB, and start from scratch. Do you have any other suggestions?
    As for the corrupted old hard drive, do you have any suggestions of how to get out the data somehow?
    Thank you so much!

  • 4 domains names can only get one to work

    4 domains names only 1 working

    please help
    thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Are you publishing to a MobileMe account? Is each site in its own domain file? If yes to both and you're using the CNAME method of domain name forwarding for the first site you published the last published site by iWeb will be the one that gets open when you enter your domain name. All additional sites must use the simple domain name (URL) forwarding.
    There are a couple of ways to get around that:
    1 - use the simple domain name (URL) forwarding for every one of your sites. That means pointing each site to its respective address on your MMe account: http://web.me.com/YourMMe_Account_Name/SiteName/.
    2 - add a dummy site in each of the domain files as described by Wyodor in this post: Re: Is it possible to have multiple sites when using ur Domain name.

  • How get one column's value in dashboard of obiee?

    I have two reports, MAIN report and DETAIL report. I want to get one column's value as the filter of DETAIL report.
    For example, the MAIN report is
    Class AVG_Age MAX_Age MIN_Age
    Class1 13 15 11
    Class2 14 16 12
    DETAIL report is
    Name Class Old Describe
    Name1 Class1 15 ...
    Name2 Class2 16 ...
    Through the Navigation to implement it, when I click the 15 of MAIN report, it can only show the MAX age student of calss1. So I have to put the MAX_Age as the DETAIL report's filter. How can I get it?

    If I understand correctly, what you are trying to do is build a report so that a user can determine the oldest student of a particular class and then look at the details of that student, yes? But what if several classes have a student (or students!) with the same "max" age? For example, what if there are students in 2 classes that are aged 15 and are the oldest in their respective class? Wouldn't you want to give the user the option if choosing the various classes in which the oldest student is the "max" age? Then do this:
    On the Main report, put the summary information as you have it (Class, AVG_Age, MAX_Age, MIN_Age). Put the Value Interaction navigation on the MAX_Age column.
    On the Detail report, put Class, Name, Age, Description, etc., and any other columns that show the details of the student(s) that are the oldest. Add the filter on the Age column: "Is prompted." Now, create a Pivot Table view and place the Class column in the Pages area. (If you want you can create a duplicate of the Class column so you can have a copy in the Rows section of the Pivot Table.)
    Now when the user clicks on the MAX_Age in the Main report, it will show the Detail report with the Classes that have students with the same "max" age in a drop down window. The user can select different classes to see the various students that meet that criterion.

  • I also have a .csv file with the name of a jpeg in one column and a text description of each jpeg in a second column. Is there a way to automatically insert one jpeg (photo) and its corresponding text, each pair on one page, into a Indesign document?

    I would also recommend to write the description into the meta data. This would allow to place a text frame above the image and it is possible to add meta information and file name automatically together with the image, when you place it or even in a prepared template.
    Meta data information can be written easily in Bridge in the Meta File Workspace.

  • How to get one column of ALV table as dropdown by key.

    Hi experts,
                  How can I get one column of ALV table as dropdown and editable. If  user wants to change that column value he can just select from that dropdown and click on update button. Can I provide tool tip to that column as " Select from drop down to change the status "?
      Please Help.
    Thanks,
      Pratibha

    You just need to change the cell editor of that column in ALV.
    So first get access to the alv model object (adjusting the code below for your ALV Component Usage name - mine was ALV_ADV):
    DATA: l_ref_cmp_usage TYPE REF TO if_wd_component_usage.
      l_ref_cmp_usage =   wd_this->wd_cpuse_alv_adv( ).
      IF l_ref_cmp_usage->has_active_component( ) IS INITIAL.
        l_ref_cmp_usage->create_component( ).
      ENDIF.
      DATA l_salv_wd_table TYPE REF TO iwci_salv_wd_table.
      l_salv_wd_table = wd_this->wd_cpifc_alv_adv( ).
      DATA l_table TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_config_table.
      l_table = l_salv_wd_table->get_model( ).
    Then access the column object you want to change:
    DATA l_column TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_column.
      l_column = l_table->if_salv_wd_column_settings~get_column( 'REGION' ).
    Then create the cell editor for DDLB and set it as the new cell editor for this column:
    DATA ddlb TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_uie_dropdown_by_key.
      create object ddlb
        exporting
          selected_key_fieldname = 'REGION'.
      ddlb->set_tooltip( `Select from drop down to change the status` ).
      l_column->set_cell_editor( ddlb ).

  • I've started updating Flare for use with Flex/Spark

    Hi,
    Flare is a pretty cool actionscript library which allows you to make some pretty great interactive visualisations (or visualizations if you're American) of data. A couple of problems with it though:
    It has pretty awful documentation. There's a tutorial that gets too in depth, too quickly and doesn't outline how to get up and running quickly at all, or what form of data is expected. &
    It doesn't play all that well with the Spark architecture, making you 'hand draw' things on the nodes of a chart rather than just applying skins.
    I'm trying to rectify this by:
    Writing a quick start guide to getting up and running with Flare quickly. &
    Starting to recode the library to be Flex friendly.
    The quickstart guide should get anyone up and running with Flare using the downloadable version there is from them.
    The second post has a partially recoded version of Flare to be friendly with Flex. I've worked on it more since then, and will continue to post updates as I get more and more working and cleaned up.
    I hope this will be helpful, as Flare has some pretty cool things going for it (and some baffling choices also!).

  • I can not get imac w/Snow Leopard's address book to sync with ipad 1correctly? I only get about half the contacts?

    I have tried repeatedly to get my address book on my imac w/ snow leopard to sync to my ipad 1 correctly and have failed every time. I only get about 1/3 the number of contacts and they don't all even correlate with the ones on the imac. Like one will have full middle name and the other only the initial. I don't know where itunes is getting these contacts but doesn't match those in my address book. I keep telling itunes to replace the contacts on the ipad with those on my mac but it doesnt work. Can't do it with icloud cause snow leopard doesn't support, it still wants to use the non existant mobile me format. Hope someone can help. I added the all amnually once before but they screwed up when I sync each time.

    Thanks for your response Ernie. You are correct in that whenever you type a series of letters, Address Book (as it always has) finds every single thing with that combination of letters - Names, businesses, adjectives, people's dogs' names, letters in product serial numbers, etc. This is useful for finding a subject on the Web, or finding all documents related to 'iPhoto' on your Mac, etc., but not useful, quick or convenient when trying to find one person to call in your Address Book (which is what people use Address Book for).
    What is DIFFERENT in the Snow Leopard version, is that the ability to type one letter to instantly go to last names with that letter has been removed. Previously, you could easily find 'Bill Tilman' in one second by simply typing 'T'. Now you get every word that starts with T and all the words in the card that have a T in them. If you type out a full name like 'Bill', it finds every person named Bill. No one would ever want to find all their contacts named Bill to call them. You could type out the full last name 'Tilman', but there again you are forced to type out a complete name to do a search. It would actually be quicker to scroll down and find it manually. The ability to type a single letter to find the last name (or business name) of a contact you needed to call, was much quicker and easier than having to type out the entire name.
