Comments on: Toggling the control bar in a Flex RichTextEditor control http://blog.flexexamples.com/2007/11/21/toggling-the-control-bar-in-a-flex-richtexteditor-control/ A bunch of examples for Adobe Flex and ActionScript Tue, 06 Jan 2009 01:32:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 By: tony grimes http://blog.flexexamples.com/2007/11/21/toggling-the-control-bar-in-a-flex-richtexteditor-control/#comment-12731 tony grimes Fri, 16 May 2008 09:54:19 +0000 http://blog.flexexamples.com/2007/11/21/toggling-the-control-bar-in-a-flex-richtexteditor-control/#comment-12731 this will put the toolbar above the textArea <pre class="code"> var displayObj:DisplayObject = mainrteText.toolbar; rte.toolbar.parent.removeChild(displayObj); rte.addChildAt(displayObj, 0); </pre> its a weird roundabout way of doing it but was the only way i could work out how to target the ControlBar (it has no id and doesnt seem to be targettable directly through the DisplayList. Weird). this will put the toolbar above the textArea

var displayObj:DisplayObject = mainrteText.toolbar;
rte.toolbar.parent.removeChild(displayObj);
rte.addChildAt(displayObj, 0);

its a weird roundabout way of doing it but was the only way i could work out how to target the ControlBar (it has no id and doesnt seem to be targettable directly through the DisplayList. Weird).

I'm deadly curious to find out if it's possible to do two other things with the Rich Text Editor component: 1) Can the control bar buttons etc be skinned and/or customized? 2) Can the control bar positioned anywhere in the RTE design area? Eg., be positioned above the text area sitting right on the top edge with zero-clearence. tonejac deluxe This is cool.
