| Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version : | Flex 4.6 |
| Runtime Versions : | AIR 3.0 |
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:
text is always selectable.See also
