SWFTextField : SWFCharacter

Text Fields are less flexible than Text objects- they can't be rotated, scaled non-proportionally, or skewed, but they can be used as form entries, and they can use browser-defined fonts.


SWFText SWFTextField([flags]);

Create a new text field object.

The optional flags change the text field's behavior:

SWFTEXTFIELD_NOEDIT indicates that the field shouldn't be user-editable
SWFTEXTFIELD_PASSWORD obscures the data entry
SWFTEXTFIELD_DRAWBOX draws the outline of the textfield
SWFTEXTFIELD_MULTILINE allows multiple lines
SWFTEXTFIELD_WORDWRAP allows text to wrap
SWFTEXTFIELD_NOSELECT makes the field non-selectable

Flags are combined with the bitwise OR operation. For example,

SWFTextField t = new SWFTextField(SWFTEXTFIELD_PASSWORD | SWFTEXTFIELD_NOEDIT);

creates a totally useless non-editable password field.

SWFBlock getBlock();
SWFBlock Block; (Propertie)

Get the SWFBlock object.

void setFont(SWFBlock font);

Set the text field font to the [browser-defined?] font font.

void setBounds(float width, float height);

Set the text field width and height. If you don't set the bounds yourself, Ming makes a poor guess at what the bounds are.

void setFlags(int flags);

The optional flags change the text field's behavior:

SWFTEXTFIELD_NOEDIT indicates that the field shouldn't be user-editable
SWFTEXTFIELD_PASSWORD obscures the data entry
SWFTEXTFIELD_DRAWBOX draws the outline of the textfield
SWFTEXTFIELD_MULTILINE allows multiple lines
SWFTEXTFIELD_WORDWRAP allows text to wrap
SWFTEXTFIELD_NOSELECT makes the field non-selectable

Flags are combined with the bitwise OR operation. For example,

SWFTextField t = new SWFTextField(SWFTEXTFIELD_PASSWORD | SWFTEXTFIELD_NOEDIT);

creates a totally useless non-editable password field.

void setColor(int r, int g, int b [, int a]);

Set the color of the text field. Default is fully opaque black.

void setName(string name);
void setVariableName(string name);
void VariableName; (Propertie)

Set the variable name of this text field, for form posting and action scripting purposes.

void addString(string s);

Concatenate the given string to the text field.

void setHeight(float height);
void Height; (Propertie)

Set the font height of this text field font to the given height. Default is 240.

void setFieldHeight(float heiht);
void FieldHeight; (Propertie)

void setLeftMargin(float width);
void LeftMargin; (Propertie)

Set the left margin width of the text field. Default is 0.

void setRightMargin(float width);
void RightMargin; (Propertie)

Set the right margin width of the text field. Default is 0.

void setLeftMargin(float left);
void LeftMargin; (Propertie)
void setRightMargin(float right);
void RightMargin; (Propertie)
void setMargins(float left, float right);

Set both margins at once, for the man on the go.

void setIndentation(float width);
void Indentation; (Propertie)

Set the indentation of the first line in the text field.

void setLineSpacing(float height);
void LineSpacing; (Propertie)
