Simple Flash Spell Checker v2.0 AS3

nice file

Wow, that’s amazing!! Really cool file, way cheaper than then spell checker at gskinner that I was looking at. How big is the compressed dictionary?

hey kara: gskinner’s spell checker is priced pretty high up there but I gotta give it to them… It’s pretty impressive that they can compress 150,000 words into a 250k file. The size of the current compressed dictionary with 80,000+ words is 454k.

I typed quite a few words that I thought it wouldn’t have, and it performed flawlessly, very nice!

very nice file. congrats.

Very nice but i’m having some issues with it:

1) I can’t seem to change the text colour from white, even in your example .fla when i change the colour of the TextFormat object it still comes out white.

2) I’m creating the SCTextField object in the constructor of my class, then assigning some text to it, the text shows for a split second (in black, oddly) then all gets deleted.

these 2 issues are making the checker pretty useless to me as i need to be able to change the colour and retain text.

An updated source file has been uploaded to Flashden. The file included bug fix for both of your issues. Thank you for your purchase!

Hi

I want to be able to incorporate the spellchecker into a standalone swf file.

Will I be able to do that?

Yes, the spellchecker will work online or offline. The application will grab the dictionary from its local directory.

did any one know if I want to use this spellchecker in flash application that is with AS2 will work?

Sorry, this will not work with AS2 .

thanks, well here is my problem, I have flash rich text editor it is with AS2 I purchesed both spellChekers AS2 and AS3 . I cant use AS2 spellchecker it is acting weird because I think it is not supported htmltext . my content is htmltext and I cant use the AS3 because my app is AS2 . any suggestions and help I appritiat!!!!!!

That’s a tough nut to crack. I’m not sure what the AS2 spellchecker looks like, so I won’t be able to comment on that. I know for sure my AS3 spellchecker will not be fully operational in the AS2 environment. I’m afraid, there’s no good advice that I can give you. Sorry.

Great file. One question though. I have CS3 and need to create a multilingual application. For the foreign glyphs to work properly I have to add an input text field to the stage and embed them all manually. Is there anyway to make spell checker work with an input text field already on the stage?

Cheers

I am developing a scrabble-type game that requires me to check if a word exists or not. So I need a “checkSpelling” function that I’ll use like this:

if ( checkSpelling( submitted_answer) ) { //award points } else { //don’t award points }

Could the code in this spellchecker app be easily modified to programmatically check for a word’s existence in the library?

Thanks!
