InheritanceStyleableStageText Inheritance UIComponent Inheritance FlexSprite Inheritance flash.display.Sprite
Implements IStyleableEditableText, spark.core.ISoftKeyboardHintClient

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 4.6
Runtime Versions : AIR 3.0

The StyleableStageText class is a text primitive for use in ActionScript skins which is used to present the user with a native text input field. It cannot be used in MXML markup, is not compatible with effects, and is not compatible with transformations such as rotation, scale, and skew.

StageText allows for better text entry and manipulation experiences on mobile devices using native text fields. The native fields provide correct visuals, text spacing and reflow, selection behavior, and text entry assistance. This class can also be used on desktop platforms where it behaves as a wrapper around TextField.

The padding around native text controls may be different than the padding around TextField controls.

Similiar to other native applications, when you tap outside of the native text field, the text field gives up focus and the soft keyboard goes away. This differs from when you tap outside of a TextField and the focus stays in the TextField and the soft keyboard remains visible.

Limitation of StageText-based controls:

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 4.6
Runtime Versions : AIR 3.0

Constructor.

multiline determines what happens when you press the Enter key. If it is true, the Enter key starts a new line. If it is false, it causes a FlexEvent.ENTER event to be dispatched.

Parameters
multiline:Boolean (default = false) — Set to true to allow more than one line of text to be input.
Method Detail
AIR-only appendText()method
public function appendText(text:String):void

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 4.6
Runtime Versions : AIR 3.0

Event Detail
AIR-only change Event
Event Object Type: flash.events.Event
Event.type property = flash.events.Event.CHANGE

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 4.6

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 4.6
Runtime Versions : AIR 3.0

Dispatched if the StageText is not multiline and the user presses the enter key.

The FlexEvent.ENTER constant defines the value of the type property of the event object for a enter event.

The properties of the event object have the following values:

PropertyValue
bubblesfalse
cancelablefalse
currentTargetThe Object that defines the event listener that handles the event. For example, if you use myButton.addEventListener() to register an event listener, myButton is the value of the currentTarget.
targetThe Object that dispatched the event; it is not always the Object listening for the event. Use the currentTarget property to always access the Object listening for the event.
AIR-only focusIn Event  
Event Object Type: flash.events.FocusEvent
FocusEvent.type property = flash.events.FocusEvent.FOCUS_IN

Dispatched after the native text control gains focus. This happens when a user highlights the text field with a pointing device, keyboard navigation, or a touch gesture.

Note: Since flash.text.StageText is not an InteractiveObject, the Stage.focus property may not be used to determine if a native text field has focus.

AIR-only focusOut Event  
Event Object Type: flash.events.FocusEvent
FocusEvent.type property = flash.events.FocusEvent.FOCUS_OUT

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 4.6
