TextMetrics

Filed under: AS 2, TextField, TextFormat by admin |

From the site:

Have you ever needed to find out where the line breaks occur in a dynamic TextField? How about the precise x/y coordinates of a particular phrase/string along with its width & height so that you could highlight it somehow? Or maybe the width of each line of text? That’s all possible with the gs.utils.text.TextMetrics class. And to be consistent with the getTextLineMetrics() function in the TextField AS3 class, it also returns the descent, ascent, and leading values too. You must publish to Flash 8 or later for accurate results.

HTMLStyle

Filed under: AS 3, Component, Design Pattern, Flex, TextField, TextFormat, misc by Ruben |

HTMLStyle is a component I developed for the sake of simplifying the process of formatting html-text in Flex. It allows you to create a stylesheet pretty similar to the way you would place a mx:Style tag for declaring style definitions for your components.

The component also has a source property which can be set to target an external css file..
