No problem Igor, I believe there is enough room for many rte components. Your’s will probably be very successful if you can make it standard HTML compatible.

Let’s hope MM improves the textfield in the next release of Flash. I would love to see better HTML support and ability to keep the text selections even if a textfield looses focus…

Sorry Kai, I was commenting that demo page. GTE v1 also has free RTE API, but it is AS1 because it was released more then 2 years ago. Because its freely available and I cant find any description of your API, I can’t do the comparison.

Thanks for the comment Igor. It is possible to use images with our rte component. Also, one can create any kind of hyperlink input dialogs for it, it’s the api that counts :) We also fixed the flash textfield bug (and other flash bugs) that Sam mentioned earlier.

It sure looks cool that you can attach the editor to any textfields, that is a feature that our component does not have. Just out of curiosity, is this the same component flashloaded is selling? Your component is 99usd and our 32 components is 80 eur ;)

CheloXL’s component looks nice too.

Thanks Jesse!
That order page:( is now working

Kai, Bit-101 components are great, but features of your RTE are close to(free) GroundTextEditor v1. Couple of (special?) features that are missing:
– better hyperlink manipulation
– image support
– possibility to attach editor to any text field dynamically

FlashTextEditor can produce ‘clean’ HTML. Check out this (beta!) example:
http://ground.gr/demo/gte3/beta/
However, that feature is not listed and supported yet, mostly because of the problems with image tag.
