Problem with TLF - floating an inline image

Report · Jan 12, 2011

I am running the latest version of Flash Builder 4 (4.0.1). The problem that I having:

When I use an InlineGraphicsElement if aTextFlow (in a RichEditableText component), if I set a value for the "float" attribute of an <img> element; the image is not visible. Without the float attribute, I see the image.

Is this a version problem with TLF? How do I know which version of TLF that I'm using? How do I install the correct version of TLF?

Thanks for the help.

Some code fragments:

The TextFlow string with "float":

<div color="#444444" fontFamily="Times New Roman" fontSize="20" paragraphSpaceAfter="15" textIndent="10">
Alice, really, was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, `and what is the use of a book,' thought Alice `without pictures or conversation?'

So she was considering in her own mind(as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid), whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.

</div>

Without "float":

<div color="#444444" fontFamily="Times New Roman" fontSize="20" paragraphSpaceAfter="15" textIndent="10">

</div>

A bit of MXML code:

<s:Group id="myGroup" width="100%" height="100%">
 <s:RichEditableText id="myRichText" lineBreak="toFit">
 </s:RichEditableText>
 
 </s:Group>

And some Actionscript that adds components:

            scroller = new SxScroller();
            scroller.dx = dxScroller;
            scroller.dy = dyScroller;
            scroller.addEventListener(FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE,scrollerEvent);
            scroller.addEventListener(FlexEvent.UPDATE_COMPLETE,scrollerEvent);

            richText = scroller.richText;

            richText.editable = false; // textCharacter.enableEdit; // probably false. TODO: support true???
            richText.selectable = true; // required

            richText.width = dxRichText;

And finally the import of a TextFlow string:

richText.textFlow = TextFlowUtil.importFromString(textFlowString, WhiteSpaceCollapse.PRESERVE);

On the TextFlow forum I found the answer:

Use Flash Builder Hero, since it support TLF 2.0 out-of-the-box. The InlineGraphics support several valuable attributes, including float="left" etc.

Beautiful.
