Squiggly Prerelease 0.4

Squiggly Prerelease 0.4 is designed to be an effective spell checking engine for Adobe® Flash® Player and Adobe AIR®  released with an aim to easily add spell checking functionality in any Adobe Flex® 3 or Flex 4 based text control. The distribution package consists of an Action Script package that checks individual words for spelling accuracy, a sample dictionary for English, and sample code that demonstrates “check as you type” functionality — see the online demo. While the included UI class requires the Flex SDK, the core spell checking engine can be used in pure Flash applications without any dependency on Flex packages. 

Vendor are making this early release of Squiggly available to the developer community to collect feedback on how much interest there is in text proofing functionality for Flash and AIR applications. Please give this package a try and know how vendor could better serve your needs by posting comments to the Adobe Labs Squiggly forum. This release of Squiggly supports the Flash 10 runtime environment. However, as Squiggly is a technology preview release, Adobe does not make any guarantees for future releases of this package regarding backward compatibility of its APIs, product behavior, or runtime environments supported.
