Squiggly is a spell checking engine for Adobe® Flash® Player and Adobe AIR®. The Squiggly library allows you to easily add spell checking functionality in any Flex 3 based text control.
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.
Currently, only English dictionary is available but you can create your own dictionaries with a bundled AIR app.
The 3 main classes we'll be using are SpellChecker, SpellingDictionary and SpellUI all of which belong to the com.adobe.linguistics.spelling. package. There are several sub packages but they need not be used directly.
Usage :
If we are using the Flex SDK, then we can use the SpellUI class to spell check any Flex component like ,
SpellUI.enableSpelling(textArea, "usa.zwl");where usa.zwl is the dictionary file.
However, if you are not using the Flex SDK, then the SpellUI class cannot be used. In that case, we can use the SpellChecker class directly to perform spell checking. Here's a sample demo class i've put together.
Hope that's useful for anyone. Happy coding :D
