Haxe

just `import flixel.addons.ui.FlxUI.NamedString;` as far as i can tell

no? Fair enough, i havent tested it, though i do remember thinking "this is single line input only"

is there any equiv in flixel of khas "g.drawCharacters"? Or is text _always_ shown via FlxText?

though I often recommend FlxG.addChildBelowMouse() with a regular OpenFL input textfield for text input

FlxInputText just doesn't feel right regarding the usual keyboard shortcuts etc

ok, interesting... so a normal openfl textfield _could_ work then?

as long as you don't want to display any flixel elements on top of it 😬

yeah, was just about to say that... for things that are fully over the top it would be easy enough to hide it, partially overlapping would be an issue though

maybe <@!126172290667773952> 's solution is something to investigate then

sounds like it might be the best of both worlds

<@!385014891750096896> inside of components like `CheckBox`, are all the text strings `Label` instances? I'd like to use `htmlText` with the text associated with a checkbox, but I can't seem to access the Label of the checkbox directly

you could access it something like `myCheckBox.findComponent(Label)`

i wonder if settting its htmlText will work though... interesting idea

it'd be nice to have some sort of flag to say "interpret text as htmlText" for all components...

maybe a style is the nicest idea... not sure what it could be called though

```css
.checkbox .label {
    ??? : ???;
} 
```

```css
.checkbox .label {
    content: default | html | text | auto;
} 
```

or a new (non standard) attr "content-type" ...

<@!223621181138272256> - did you manage to get your haxeui-flixel pathing issues sorted? Interested to know what they were

<@!385014891750096896> I actually gave up because in the end I'll need some sort of FlxTextField which as far as I know flixel backend doesn't have

I still have the progress in a separate branch

But I went back to try alternative with the openfl backend

right - fair enough, i hope to remedy that this weekend fyi (_hopefully_)

so what about getting a flxgame to run in a 100x100 sprite?

No luck there, FlxGame seems to work directly over the stage ignoring anything to do with local sprites

I'd have to change a lot of things to get it to work correctly

And I don't have much knowledge in openfl neither in flash unfortunetely
