Superscript and Subscript in flash - nice hack

Superscript and Subscript support in flash (or lack thereof) has been a thorn in my side for the past few years. The reason for this is that we need to display a lot of mathematical formulae for the eAssessment applications that we have been working on.

I was sent a link today: How to use subscript & superscript in dynamic and input text field and just wanted to post it here as a reminder to myself as it looks like a very nice way of solving this problem for at least 90% of our use cases.

Cheers, Mark

If you're at LearnX pop on by and ask some questions.

Mobile phones in education powered by CFMX

A pilot project in Ireland that we recently completed has just been written up in one of the national newspapers: Pupils lap up hi-tech learning of Irish

Behind the scenes it's using CFMX 7 with VoiceXML for the mobile phone integration and Jabber for instant messenging.
