Actually that's no problem...
The SWF in the article were two snapshots that I overlayed, one from Flash, one from Word, so it has no interactivity with the curser.
Truth is, it's entirely possible to enable text selection, if that were a real demo of the text engine.
- dandelany 17y agoThen you failed to get your point across... Both of the demos you show may as well be images. There's lots of other reasons not to use Flash, namely that its slow for lots of text, and it doesnt display anything at all on the iPhone and other mobile platforms. Using SIFR to replace headers is OK, but beyond that, I still hold that using Flash for text (on the web) is bad form.
- jonah 17y agoMay I ask why you chose Word as your comparison? It's not known as the paragon of typeography. :(
- jonah 17y agoEek, that'd be "typography".
- addicttostress 17y agoWhy didn't you use a live demo?
- ownedthx 17y agoJust the way it worked out. I had taken many screenshots along the way, but at the time I decided to write about my findings, I was in mid-refactor and had nothing that I could run. In hindsight, I should have used the real deal.
