[ASDoc] TextFlow

I'm pretty sure that the docs here are wrong:
https://flex.apache.org/asdoc/flashx/textLayout/elements/TextFlow.html

It says: A TextFlow object can have ParagraphElement and DivElement objects as children.

If I'm not mistaken, a TextFlow can have a ListElement as a child as well, so that should be "A TextFlow object can have ParagraphElement, DivElement and ListElement objects as children." 

Should I add this to JIRA?

Also, I'd think that flow.getElementsByTypeName("ParagraphElement") should return an array of the ParagraphElements in the flow. This does not seem to work. It retruns an empty array in my tests. Am I going about it wrong, or is this a bug?

The docs are generate from the code so supply a patch and we'll get someone to apply it.

Okay. This was my error. This: flow.getElementsByTypeName("ParagraphElement") Should be this: flow.getElementsByTypeName("p") 

I think the docs should be clearer on what to specify here. I propose the following:

Instead of: Returns all elements that have typeName set to typeNameValue.
 
Returns all elements that have typeName as the TextFlow markup tag set to typeNameValue.
