Hey everyone;
I've noticed a few posts recently about possibly getting Squiggly
donated to this project. That got me thinking about our own
(gskinner.com's) spelling library. It was a commercial project that
we've had ongoing for around 6 years, however lately it has grown
stagnate, so it was time to open-source it. Werecently released it under
an MIT license on GitHub (http://www.github.com/gskinner/SPL). I know
its not a donation to this project, but being MIT anyone can take the
source and do anything they want with it.
The current version fully supports the Flash component set, TextField,
TLF and RichEditableText in both Flash, and the Flex SDK (both 3.x and
4.x). Officially it supports English (US and UK), however there are
additional dictionaries for Spanish, French, and German. We also have a
AIR application that lets you easily create new dictionary files in your
own language (the source is also in that GitHub repo). You can read more
here; http://gskinner.com/products/spl/ (and checkout a live demo). The
source for those demos is all in the GitHub repo.
Our hope is by open sourcing it the library will find a new life in the
open-source community. And maybe even in the Flex sdk ... :)
