Hi,

I would like to know if you'll update your class to support TLF Textfield ?
Thanks.

Ok It's been a long time.

But the package definition in AS2 doesn't exist, however if you want to use packages you'll have to do this :

Let's say we have a package bar.foo with a class CustomClass, it will become :

class bar.foo.CustomClass

typo: "new to AS3" and not "new to AS2"

The point is that the rendering of Firefox & Co. with @font-face is horrible and for me unusable. With flash the fonts look great even at small sizes and still remain selectable text (opposed to cufón) - I think I should do an example comparison page for everyone to see. So I want to try to do all font work on my website with sIFR. I'm really only missing the combination with hyphenation that is almost there.

I had a look if I could do it myself - only 400 lines of code and Flash telling you the lines with errors if you just try to compile the script as AS2, but there is nothing on the web concerning back porting, so I'm stuck already with "package net.vis4.text.hyphenation". Obviously the package definition is new to AS2 and there is no explanation on how to do that in AS2.

I think the back porting of as3-hyphenation to AS2 won't be that difficult since the main class is only about 400 lines of code. Unfortunately, I have to earn some money so don't have the time to do this right now. By the way, why do you want to use sIFR while there are so many other nice ways of doing dynamic text replacements like @font-face or cufón?

Any chance to do this in AS2? That is needed to make it work in conjunction with sIFR.
