Simple Flash Spell Checker V2.0 AS3
This actionscript based Simple Flash Spell Checker allows the designer/developer to provide spell check and word suggest function to their users. The spell checker is an extension of the flash.text.TextField and it inherits all the properties of a textfield. All you have to do is create an instance of the spell check textfield and add it to the stage. The component will load the dictionary and do the rest of the work for you. Version 2 comes with a dictionary compressor and the ability for the spell checker to decompress that dictionary on the fly.
The entire Flash Spell Checker is written in Actionscript 3.0 and can be added to the stage with 2 lines of code:
import com.tse.controls.SCTextField;
addChild(new SCTextField());
v2.0 New Features
- Brand new dictionary with 80,000+ words
- Includes Dictionary Compressor to improve performance
- Accepts compressed Dictionary as input
- Tuned Suggestion Algorithm
- Dispatches COMPLETE event when the dictionary completes decompressing/loading.
Below is a screenshot of the Dictionary Compressor that is included:
The dictionary compressor allows you to compress your dictionary to a smaller size for speedier transfer. The compressor is capable of compressing dictionary files up to 65% of its original size.
Please look at Simple Flash Spell Checker v.1.0 if you don’t need the compressor and the heavier dictionary
Thanks for looking everyone!

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 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.

Hi
I want to be able to incorporate the spellchecker into a standalone swf file.
Will I be able to do that?
Posted 3 months ago
Yes, the spellchecker will work online or offline. The application will grab the dictionary from its local directory.

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.
