Thanks Stephen, I’ve fixed this particular issue. Honestly, it was a hack to get around some limitations in the layouts. Since then I’ve seriously advanced the layout algorithms and there’s no need for this workaround.

This library rocks by the way. Great effort.

Here’s a bug fix:

In HTMLImageAdapter in the ImageLoader onComplete() handler get rid of the padding measurements when creating the BitmapData. If you keep the padding there it will draw a white gap next to the image where the padding should be. It’s not noticeable on your site since it uses a white background anyway. But with other color backgrounds it is apparent.

Change:
var bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(lp.width + lp.paddingRight + lp.paddingLeft – 10, lp.height + lp.paddingTop + lp.paddingBottom);

To:
var bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(lp.width, lp.height);

Alan,
Unfortunately in the cases you’ve highlighted, the TLMRs aren’t mirroring the mouseOut event to the event mirrors. I’m working on a solution to manually take over the mirroring task. I’m also working on a few new line rendering algorithms, and I’m exploring the possibility of blitting the lines to a Bitmap, to cut down on the load of lots of lines on the display list.

Thanks, P.

Roberto – once I manually created a “report” directory I was able to use the ant build to make the swcs.

Paul – I notice that some of the link states in the example above have different mouseout behaviors depending on which way you leave the link – up, down, left and right. It looks like if the mouse moves from a link to an adjacent line the mouseout may not be handled.

Hi Paul, again
I’m fighitin with your ant build file! I guess is not updated!
True? or what I’m missing?

hello Paul,
I’m sorry about my question but … I can’t figure out how to make an SWC of your library. Can you point me in the right direction? Or provide in the download (easier!) an SWC?.
Thanks a lot.
Roberto.

Hi Paul!
When I select the text and right click it, the common FLash context menu appears, there isn’t any “copy” option, is possible to add that? also, is possible to copy or save the images too?

Ha oh man I’m working on this exact feature right now. This will actually be the topic of my next example post. There are a few things I’m working on that I need before I can efficiently resize the TextContainers.

Great!!

I’ve been playing around a little bit now, trying to build a resizeable UIComponent around it and implement measure() and updateDisplayList(), and that’s what I’ve come across:
- when I set the width, the height always remains 0.
- getBoundingBox().width and height are o.k., but there update asynchronously, when you render the TextField. It would be nice if there would be an event to listen after the TextField is rendered.
- I don’t seem to be able to change the width once after style and text have been set – although it’s rendered again, there’s no change in the appearance and in the boundingBox.width/height either. Is this supposed behaviour?

Looking forward to your next postings!
