getStyle
()
method
public function getStyle(styleProp:String):*
Language Version :
ActionScript 3.0
Product Version :
Flex 3
Runtime Versions :
Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1
Gets a style property that has been set anywhere in this
component's style lookup chain.
This same method is used to get any kind of style property,
so the value returned can be a Boolean, String, Number, int,
uint (for an RGB color), Class (for a skin), or any kind of object.
Therefore the return type is simply specified as *.
If you are getting a particular style property, you
know its type and often want to store the result in a
variable of that type.
No casting from * to that type is necessary.
var backgroundColor:uint = getStyle("backgroundColor");
If the style property has not been set anywhere in the
style lookup chain, the value returned by getStyle()
is undefined.
Note that undefined is a special value that is
not the same as false, "",
NaN, 0, or null.
No valid style value is ever undefined.
You can use the method
IStyleManager2.isValidStyleValue()
to test whether the value was set.
Parameters
styleProp:String — Name of the style property.
Returns
* — Style value.
getTextFormat
()
method
public function getTextFormat(beginIndex:int = -1, endIndex:int = -1):TextFormat
Returns a UITextFormat object that contains formatting information for this component.
This method is similar to the getTextFormat() method of the
flash.text.TextField class, but it returns a UITextFormat object instead
of a TextFormat object.
The UITextFormat class extends the TextFormat class to add the text measurement methods
measureText() and measureHTMLText().
Returns
UITextFormat — An object that contains formatting information for this component.
