Article formatting with Flash

Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, July 03 2003 @ 07:23 PM EDT

With Flash MX at this time, you can format the text layout. But if you need to put an image somewhere in the text, it will fail. There's no function or command and there's no option to control the flow of the text around the image. :( The text is in a box, the image is placed in x,y pixels on the stage. There's no really relationship.

The idea is good, but the technology (at this time) is not enough to make a WYSIWYG editor.

There are ("a bit simplier") flash editors, where you can't paste images in your posts. Free and downloadable. In a perfect world... we could develop wysiwyg flash editors... :)
...maybe someday...

Actually right now the images are a small issue. Placing [image_1] tags
are not that big a deal, but being able to set bold, italic, underline, colour
and size for text would be great. Can you point us to one of those free
flash components that you mentioned?

Hi! Sure. :)

Sorry, my whole computer OS totally crashed several times :( So... the flash editor is here:

I hope it'll help you. I think its a good editor, if you don't need to manage images. But if you need, there goes the problem, that i wrote.

And a little about [image_1] tags: If we want to use wysiwyg editors, we shouldn't use tags :)

bye!
