Reading about Flash + CSS + HTML localization today I stumbled upon this link where Adobe has listed all the CSS properties that are available for text inputs (and for HTML text for that matter) and honestly I am a little bit disappointed, they only support a subset of the CSS1 Specification, now come on!, even IE6 has better CSS support than that!, how about line-height (instead of leading property) or a full implementation of the margin property?
I understand them not being able to handle units such as EMs and PT’s, but to keep the same CSS support that was available when Flash 8 was released it’s unbearable and quite shocking coming from a company like Adobe.
UPDATE: After discussing with Esteban Montero about this issue he came out with a very interesting question, where does Flex draw the line? My guess is that since they both use the same plugin and both use AS3 their lines are equal, however it seems that a lot of people feel my pain and would like for Flex (and obviously Flash as well) to support the CSS Level 2 Specification, they even have it in their bugs in JIRA.
