Implements IUndoManager

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

The UndoManager class manages the history of editing operations on a text flow so that these operations can be undone and redone.

The undo manager maintains two stacks of IOperation objects. When a reversible operation is executed, it is placed on the undo stack. If that operation is undone, it is removed from the undo stack, reversed, and placed on the redo stack. Likewise, if that operation is then redone, it is removed from the redo stack, re-executed, and then placed onto the undo stack again. If another operation is executed first, the redo stack is cleared.

If the TextFlow is modified directly (not via calls to the edit manager, but directly via calls to the managed FlowElement objects), then the edit manager clears the undo stack to prevent the stack from getting out of sync with the current state.
