Text Layout Framework Overview Redux
You may have heard of the new Text Layout Framework, an ActionScript 3.0 component library that is based on the flash.text.engine package available in Flash Player 10. It first appeared on Adobe Labs last November.
At that time, we posted an overview of the framework that described the library as it existed last fall. Well the engineers have been hard at work improving the framework and have made quite a few changes to it. In fact, there have been enough changes that a new overview would be in order. As it turns out, I've been working on updating the overview, and have a draft of it ready for review. As it is a draft, I'm giving it an expiration date a week out from now, and will replace it with a new draft at that point if there are enough comments and suggestions to warrant a new version.
