comes from a background in Computer Engineering at the University of
Maryland and has worked with several languages and frameworks

2006 with Flex 2. When she’s not staying up all night developing,

mobile, board, card, anything really).
This session will cover the Text Layout Framework (TLF), Adobe's
library for advanced typography and layout in Flash and Flex. We will
discuss the basic structure of the TLF and the underlying Flash Text
Engine (FTE) as well as how to utilize TLF in Flex applications, apply
advanced formatting and layout, add user interaction, and extend the
TLF to add custom functionality. We will also look at several demos
including a TLF text editor and integration of Flex components with
TLF-rendered text.
