Tab in TLF !!!

Hi
I am trying to implement a sample of TLF with feature of Tab for paragraph like word document. If user click in paragraph and press 'Tab' then it should work like same as we experience in Word.
Can any one guide me ?
Bharat Patel

By default TLF ignores the Tab key and it's used to navigate focus. This can be changed by creating a custom Configuration and passing it into the TextConverter or the TextFlow constructor. See the flashx.textLayout.elements.Configuration class. Note that once a TextFlow is constructed its Configuration cannot be changed.
There is a defaultConfiguration that is used when no Configuration is specified. So the simplest way to have all your TextFlows insert a tab on the tab key is to add this line to the startup before any TextFlows are created.
TextFlow.defaultConfiguration.manageTabKey = true;
Note that if you are using TLF wrapped by Flex or FlashCS5 then you'll have to work through the components and APIs they provide.
Hope that helps,
Richard

Fix for TextGraphicNode and RichTextNode delegated content property. We used to pick up cdata from before and after the content tags and consider them content, this was wrong and the new line and tabs threw TLF for a loop.
This change will need to be communicated to and integrated with, CoreTech.

Does TLF support tabbing to LinkElements?

We currently use Flex 3.2 but are in the process of moving up to Flex 4.1. In the Flex 3.2 SDK we took advantage of the 'htmlText' property and its ability to do links. But, users could not tab to the links and screenreaders could not read the links. Therefore we were questioned about 508 compliance. We raised the issue to Adobe but haven't heard anything back. Has anything changed in Flex 4.1 (or 4.5) with regards to this issue? Has the Flash Text Engine or TLF somehow fixed this issue? I'm also wondering if anyone has any ideas about how to make the links in the 'htmlText' property 508 complaint.
Thanks for your time!

There is no change to Flex 4.1 or 4.5. We are working on a way to address this. It may be possible to use the FocusManager interface to override tabIndex values when the keyboard focus is inside a TLF object. That way, the cursor would move in the same way you would expect of a browser.
It is important to note, however, that TLF and htmlText is not intended to be equivalent to a browser pane. It's a feature that simplifies designing rich text layouts. If you want a fully functional HTML pane, then what you need is a browser iframe. Building a browser out of TLF may technically be possible, but it's a lot more work than you're likely to want to undertake.

Word wrapping: Tab behavior in TLF editor

Hi,
I have created an editor using TLF which has word-wrapping enabled. The editor also takes in the Tab key and places it at prober position. In case you insert Tab at the beginning of the line except for the first line then the TAB is inserted in the previous line and it does not get wrapped.
Is there any way in which I can acheive word wrapping for Tabs? I have observed similar behavior for SPACE as well.
Why is such a behavior in the both the cases?

We are using the TLF bundled with Flex 4.1.0.16076, latest production release. You can verify the problem here in this demo:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/textlayout/demos/
Type two lines, make sure they wrap. At the beginning of the second line press the tab key multiple times. The tabs will stack up on the end of the first line.
If this is fixed in a newer version of TLF, is it safe to use with flex 4.1?
Thanks,
Ryan

alrighty then try this xml structure.
Note: formatting information like b, or linkage tags should
not be part of the xml.
The XML format is a universal format for data, if you fill it
with style information this is not good practive (in general, there
are of course scenarios where it makes sense, also since (x)html IS
also XML).
In your case you want to put the information about multiple
companies in a xml file, but you let the flash decide how to
display format this information.
so if you use the sugested XMl structure you will have full
control of the layout within flash, because you can grab every
piece of information from the xml and place it jsut where you want
in flash and format it within flash.
Of course this process is more coding work than your previous
attempt, but it pays of when you have a lot of data to process and
when you want to have full control of the final layout.
But maybe its overkill for your application (I don't know how
many companies will be stored in your xml and how complex the rest
of the app is).

Tab going to a new line when end of line is reached

In most text editors, when you hold the tab key down, the cursor goes from tab stop to tab stop across the line. When end of the line is reached, the cursor goes to the next line, again goes from tab stop to tab stop on the new line, and so on. You end up with multiple lines.
In TLF, with tabStops set, holding the tab key down, the cursor goes from tab stop to tab stop across the line. But when the cursor reaches the end of the line, it doesn't go to the next line. The cursor stays at the end of the line while more tab characters are inserted into the text flow. There is always only one line.
Is there a way for TLF to have the tab key go to the next line when the cursor reaches the end of the line?
Thanks for the info.
Will

Thank you very much for the update.
We also discovered that, any line which has the previous line ending in a tab, any leading tabs will not show. For example (all in the same ):
Line one ...<tab/>
<tab/>Line two
The leading tab on line two will not display. If the previous line does not end with <tab/>, then the leading tab on the following line shows. Is this related?
Also, will the fix come in a 2.x update? Any time frame?
Thanks again for the info.
Will

Tab Key Usage

Tab stops are included in TLF but while editing text if the
tab key is pressed it executes the default Flex action of switching
to the next component. I tried searching for a attribute so I could
use the tab key in the way a normal text editor does but I couldn't
find anything. Are we expected to have to capture the tab key input
and insert the tab value ourselves?

Hi,
The default behavior when there are no tab stops before the end of the line is to create a new line exactly as you describe. Please verify that you've specified tab stops.
This is even simpler than the above.
textFlow.tabStops="tabStops="s100 s200"
will create tabs at 100 and 200 pixels.

Richard

Nested Span in TLF!

Hi folks...
There is problem here:
I have something like this in my RichEditableText's textFlow:
str = "<TextFlow xmlns='http://ns.adobe.com/textLayout/2008'>"+"<div><tab/>" +
 "text specific word text</div>"+
 "</TextFlow>";
RichEditableText.textFlow=TextConverter.importToFlow(str, TextConverter.TEXT_LAYOUT_FORMAT);
I want to use replace() func, just like this:
var myPattern:RegExp = new RegExp(TextInput.text,"gi")
str = str.replace(myPattern,""+TextInput.text+"");
RichEditableText.textFlow= TextConverter.importToFlow(str, TextConverter.TEXT_LAYOUT_FORMAT);
But after doing this, my specific word that I had been written in my TextInput, would'nt be appear inside of my text. I think because of another in the main text. the result is something like this:

 text specific word text

how can I fix this?!

The problem is that a TLF span doesn't map to an HTML span which does support nesting. What's needed is
a new element - "SubParagraphGroupElement" that can have text, tlf type spans and other SubParagraphGroups as children.
One awful hack would be to turn all the outer span's into tcy's which will have no effect unless you are doing vertical text. That gives you exactly one level of nesting - probably worse than useless. Anyhow it would look like this:
 
 <tcy fontFamily='tahoma' fontSize='12' color='0xc08057'>
 text specific word text
 </tcy>
 
The more people that agitate for a SubParagraphGroupElement the better. It's a hard sell and keeps falling off the plans.

Validation of TLF-Markup with DTD?

Hi everyone,
we're using TLF to display structured text on the client side with Flex. The text comes from a database where it is stored in our own XML-Markup, transformed on the server side (java server) to TLF-Markup and then sent to the client.
Is there any possibility to make sure that the transformation on the server into TLF-XML results in a valid syntax so that the RichText component can display it? Something like a DTD for the TLF-Markup?
Thanks in advance!

For formats, it's more comlicated. You can ask some specific formats.

Image Processor Tab Missing in New Adobe Bridge CC 2014

In the new Bridge CC you used to have a TAB under tools called Photoshop which you could run the script Image Processor for easily processing jpegs. What has happened to this and is their maybe a new way of processing jpegs to lo-res that I dont know about from tiff or jpeg or does my bridge have a problem?
I have attached a image grab from my bridge that shows that the tab is not there. I know that you can access image processor directly from Photoshop, but they used to always be linked.

No, it is still in Bridge CC.
Did you uninstall Photoshop CC after installing Photoshop CC 2014? If so, that may have removed some of the Bridge integration scripts by mistake. Re-installing Photoshop CC 2014 should replace the scripts.
and it should give the image processor tab back

Hi
This logical level is useful for level bases metrics.It shows the levels in your hierarchy.We can give the level in this and in the report it shows the data for that level only.

How do I use Panorama / Tab Groups with the keyboard?

Yes I know that CTRL-SHIFT-E opens the panorama window, and then I can use the mouse to organize my tabs into groups.
But how do I do this with the keyboard?
I've [http://lifehacker.com/#!5719596/switch-between-tab-groups-in-firefox-with-a-keyboard-shortcut read] [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1705714 that] Ctrl-`should move me through tab groups. That doesn't work for me on my Danish keyboard. (Where the ' and ` chars are weird. But is how they are on a valid standard Danish keyboard) I've tried changing the keyboard to USA and then moving through tab groups works fine.
In short: Pretend I don't have a mouse. How do I use Panorama / Tab Groups?

Sorry. These are both known bugs:

My downloaded text sounds do not show up under the sounds tab in settings after installing 8.1.1. can someone help me please?

i downloaded a couple text tones and since installing 8.1.1, they will not show up under the sounds tab. in fact, they do not show up in my recent purchases on itunes, but when i go to buy them again, it says that i have already bought this tone. I just want to use the tones i paid for as the tones on my phone. not asking much.... thanks for the help. i hope someone can help me get the tones working. thank you.

This was happening to me too but only for some of my songs. I have a mac so I dunno about PCs, but for most of my ringtones I had to create an ACC version in itunes to make them short enough then turn that into a m4r and those all worked fine. But if the song was already short enough and I didn't create an ACC version and just turned the original into a m4r, then it wouldn't appear in my itunes.
so if you're on a mac:
1. go to get info, options, pick when you want the song to start and end.
     Has to be pretty short to work, 30 second or less is good
     if it's already short enough that's fine
2. right click and click 'create ACC version'
     a copy with the length you put in will appear, drag that into a folder or whatever and just type in m4r where m4a would be
     still make an ACC version even if it's the right length
Hopefully this helps someone else.
