I need a rich text editor component (like Scintilla) for a project made in Flex and ActionScript 3.0.
Is there any one out there?
If not, is there a way to run Scintilla inside Flash (AIR runtime)?
Edit:
Reading a answer I understood that the question is ambiguous.
To make it clear, I don’t want a WYSIWYG. I need a text editor to make a IDE like environment.
Examples are Notepad++, Eclipse, FlashDevelop and such. (Notepad++ and FlashDevelop uses Scintilla component, as far as I know).
This is the kind of editor that I want.
Edit:
@NemoStein I honestly don’t understand what specific features you’re looking for. – http://www.Flextras.com
Right, so I’ll try to explain in another way:
Suppose that you are trying to build an IDE.
This IDE will cover an language, let’s say, C++.
Your final user expects highlighting, code completion, a gutter with line numbers, maybe a way to search through code and such features.
Scintilla is a component (a .dll, I think, but I never used it, actually) that you can embed in your application that do exactly that.
I don’t need any code completion (although this could be a huge bonus), but I need text highlighting.
As I said before, Scintilla do everything that I want to, and much more, but I didn’t find any article, tutorial, paper or anything about running it inside ActionScript.
If this doesn’t make any sense, please, let me know.
I’ll try my best to explain. =D
After some time searching, Google led my to this question and, subsequently, to this two links:
I haven’t tried any yet, but both seems to do the job.
I’ll take the first one, as it appears to be (although old) much more mature and flexible.
