| Grant Skinner first showed me his components for spell checking in Flex, Flash, and AIR at MAX Chicago. I was interested in them because they were being used in Buzzword (which Adobe recently acquired), and because I’m always interested in checking out Grant’s latest work. I also wanted to see them because they were built partly as a result of a challenge that the AIR team gave Grant: the first versions of his spell check engine used server side spell checking, and we challenged him to make it work client-side so it could be used offline with AIR applications. |
| This latest update improves Flex integration, and makes it behave more like spell checking in Word or Pages. |
| Check out the SPL product page for more info, and demos of the components in action. |
| The code is very slick and optimized, the API looks really robust, the documentation is complete, and the whole package is really well organized |
| Grant also made it really simple to implement |
