Few notes before going to bed ;-) :
1) to help debug if something goes wrong on Android, you can set the following
mx_internal flag:
ScrollableStageText.debugProxyImage = true;
It will display the proxy bitmaps in magenta background.
2) proxy methods in ScrollableStageText has been abstracted on purpose to
DisplayObject instead of Bitmap.
This is so that one could override the class to use another proxy (eg.
StyleableTextField) which is less memory consuming than bitmaps.
In wich case, you will have to override:
createProxy
updateProxy
disposeProxy
3) StageTextSkinBase inner textDisplay creation method is externalized so that
it can be customized.
Example for ScrollableStageTextInputSkin:
override protected function createTextDisplay():IStyleableEditableText
{
return new ScrollableStageText(multiline);
}
That way, you can derive from existing skins, instead of monkey patching the
default skin, if you only need to change the internal editable text class.
Note also that displayText is now of type IStyleableEditableText, instead of
StyleableStageText, for the same purpose.

Maurice

Run mustella tests:

Mobile/components/TextArea
Mobile/StageText
All pass.

Hi, I have committed and pushed tentative fix for
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-33166
Tested on iPad 2 / 3.
Not tested on Android.
I couldn't run mustella mobile tests. For some reason, they are broken on my
machine ( says: Passes: 0 / Fails: 0).
The new skins are now the defaults for TextInput and TextArea on mobile:
TextInput skinClass = spark.skins.mobile.ScrollingStageTextInputSkin
TextArea skinClass = spark.skins.mobile.ScrollingStageTextAreaSkin
The old skins are still there, under the same name.
Please review and tests, and this is a sensitive change...
Your comments and feedback are welcome.
Maurice

What about :
ScrollableStageText
ScrollableStageTextInputSkin
For the new classes ?

I can help out with Android testing. Should I wait for the nightly or are
these fixes on a branch? Nightly would be preferable so as to allow more
people to test the fix.

It would be better to keep the old one around with the same name. Folks might
have subclassed it to build their own implementations.
