My vote would be a simple component I could use in flex. So instead of putting in an mx:TextArea I would just use :AdvancedTextArea type of syntax. Simple is what is important to me.

Wish you had one available to use right now!

By the way, just recently I released an early version of a small Flex undo library on googlecode:
http://code.google.com/p/as3undohistory/
This library focuses more on undo history on arbitrary objects, not specifically textfields.

I’d be interested in seeing your code to check out the appoach you’re using.

Would it be more beneficial to create it as a static class so we can have the option to add the functionality to the textfields we want.

So something like:
TextFieldHistory.addItem( myTextField );

Or just provide us with the event handler as a function rather than controlling all of our textfields? That way we can still have control over those textfields with custom text manipulation on.

It’s just a thought, what does everyone else think?

I saw your blog post on the Adobe news feed. I’m jealous ;). Great presentation at the uFlash meeting last year.

My vote would be to see a component that can be used in Flash and Flex. I think more people could benefit if it were as simple to use as possible. Besides if someone has custom text manipulation code in their project, then they might know how to do what your offering anyway. But I think the majority of folks would benefit from this awesome component.
