In addition to our primary goal of Mac OS X and Director MX compatibility, we have been able to add a few often-requested features to this release: tab stop support, page breaks, and automatic image tiling (Windows).
Tab stops are now available in all text flows. Each flow has default tab stops at 24pt intervals. This is the same standard tab-stop length as Director's text field editing window. Therefore, if you format your tabs in the text field editor (Ctrl-8 or Command-8), the printout should match. NOTE: this doesn't apply to Rich Text cast members, which still print as bitmaps.
Page breaks are available to split up your text flow. A new command, pageBreak, will stop the text flow in the current frame. All text appended after calling pageBreak will start on the next frame. if you are using the default full-page frames, the text will start on the next page. Be sure to leave the autoAppend parameter set to TRUE if you want to automatically create new frames after the break.
Automatic image tiling addresses problems that some black and white printers have with printing large true color images on Windows (the "blank output on Windows" problem). All true color images are now printed as 128x128 pixel "tiles", which are a more digestible image size for problematic printers. The appearance of these images in printouts should be identical to an un-tiled printout.
Also, a minor change to the text engine adds sensitivity to the text alignment of cast members (left/right/centered). You can mix text alignments in the same text frame without affecting the alignment of previously placed text.
