what's the difference between cla开发者_运维百科ssic text and TLF text

Most important differences between Classic and TLF fields

• TLFs support right-to-left text (hebrew, arabic, etc), classics do not
• TLFs can be formatted extensively, they have a lot of rich text features
• You can't use classic embedded fonts for TLFs, the need their own format
• TLFs support multi-column text
• Initial formatting: The inner paddings differ when you create TLF/Classic (Don't know by how much, that's why I came here, thanks, Rushyo, I would've never thought of visiting the Adobe page...)
• To use TLF in flash builder, you have to manually include tlfruntime.swc
• TLFs render text completely different, it's impossible to get the same appearance as with a classic TF. even with the exact same settings.
• TLFs are implemented via an ActionScript framework, not the Plugin. They have performance issues and are (officially) not recommended for use on mobile devices.

There are many more detailed differences for which you'd have to ask a more in-depth question or visit adobe's forums, but those are the basics.

Classic text is the name for the older text engine in Animate. The classic text engine is still available in CS5 and later. Classic text may be preferable for certain types of content, such as for mobile devices, where SWF file size must be kept to a minimum.

Beginning in Flash Professional CS5, you can add text to a FLA file using a new text engine called the Text Layout Framework (TLF). TLF supports a wider array of rich text layout features and fine control of text attributes. TLF text allows greater control of text than the previous text engine, now called Classic text.

Note: (Animate CC only) The Text Layout Framework is deprecated and the functionality will be unavailable with Animate CC. If a FLA file containing TLF Text, previously saved with an older version of Animate, is opened with Animate CC, then TLF is converted to Classic Text.

From me: Last night, I tried using TLF in a file I was going to edit on Flash CC and got an error message about it being deprecated.
