Troubleshooting

Some control button icons appear as red square (in Flash MX2004)

Download and install Flash Text Editor v1.5

In Flash MX2004 locate Window -> Other Panels -> Common Libraries -> FTE Icons. Selecting FTE Icons will open the library with all icons used by FTE.

Drag the movieclip icons that are displayed as red squares from the FTE Icons library to the working library where FTE is.

Component's dialog windows and comboboxes are not working properly.

This is an issue when Flash Text Editor is loaded into a movie clip.

Solution is to set _lockroot property of Flash Text Editor to true.

For more information on this property check out Flash livedocs

Some component properties(fontList, fontSizes...) are not working as expected.

Because Flash Text Editor is using Macromedia v2 components, setting some properties before initialization is finished will not work.

Solution is to use doLater method of UIObject to postpone execution.
