Thanks, and great work!

I want to give users a couple more font options. You can easily assign 1 font to the RTE, but I want the user to have multiple options of fonts, that are additional from the normal sets.

Feed subscribed!

I guess a worst case scenario is that I add an extra column and save dirty and clean HTML and use the dirty for flex and the clean for sending directly to the browser, but it would be nice to have the code go “both ways”…

Very cool stuff – one thing I noticed in your example though, your not wrapping with , so though the bullets display in a regular HTML page, they are not indented. Any chance you can add that?

So
everything
starts to look like
this.

What am I doing wrong??

It appears to me that this was written as a one-way editor – to always start blank, and simply save to a DB, or whatever.

I need one that will work as a full blown editor…

Any thoughts would be appreciated….

I’m trying to extend the Flex RTE to handle image insertion by using the File Upload path and short circuiting it to just get the path to the image… but not having any luck with that tack…

Any comments on the core issues with image insertion in the Flex RTE?

This is great, I have had no end of problems dealing with the htmltext from Flex components (mostly textAreas with custom style controls because I didn’t want to give users too much style control).

It doesn’t deal with some of the problems in the html. The most serious in my mind is the lack of tags around sets of and also the lack of standard HTML heading styles. Maybe if I get some time I guess I could add that.

I think that this area of Flex (and the underlying Flash player) is to be improved soon. Adobe has mentioned improved text layout in various releases. To me the most serious problem is that the textrange class also has some serious problems with returning and adding style properties to the selected text. I think it would be SUCH an improvement to Flex if it was possible to add good Rich Text editing functionality as is possible with the likes of TinyMCE in Javascript.

Two examples I have seen recently show how the limitations of the Flex handlling of rich Text are holding back Flex.

1. An AIR app that has to use the TinyMCE javascript editor for html editing

2. The otherwise very good Buzzword online word processing application that was recently acquired by Adobe that does not offer any defined text styles functionality beyond the application of fonts and colours.

This is not a rant, just a caution that the Flex handling of rich Text makes for limited posiblilities in this area.

Thanks

I edited the replacement string to chang to a tag and the add a break as well..

it worked for me to make the output look correct when I retrieve from a database and insert into a standard html page..
//format tag
pattern = /<P STYLE/gi;
str = str.replace(pattern, “<span style”);
pattern = //gi;
str = str.replace(pattern, “”);

hope this helps someone!
