Simple Flex smilies with HTML support

Here I am again, with a new demo of Simple Flex smilies.

This time it supports the HTML produced by a RichTextEditor. It might be the first demo out there that has both smilies (emoticons) and html text that also includes source, although I didn’t search around :) In any case, it is exploiting the method I posted in the previous post.

The issues that it has is that it doesn’t interpret LI tag, for some reason, but maybe in the future I will sort it out.

Explanations will be coming soon. In the meantime here is the link:

Simple Flex smilies (emoticons)

I recently developed a Flex chat application. A nice feature in every chat is the smilies support. I searched on the net looking for something that somebody else have done already but I found only some guys saying it is hard, it is not something you develop for fun, and so on. Also I found some guys that did it but haven’t released the source.

Anyway, I developed a nice smilies’ engine class, only to lose it by switching to another branch (in git) without committing. So, until I will recode the nice and efficient engine, here is another idea that I had regarding this matter.
