Classpublic class UITextField
InheritanceUITextField Inheritance FlexTextField Inheritance TextField Inheritance InteractiveObject Inheritance DisplayObject Inheritance EventDispatcher Inheritance Object
Implements IAutomationObject, IIMESupport, IFlexModule, IInvalidating, ISimpleStyleClient, IToolTipManagerClient, IUITextField
Subclasses AdvancedDataGridItemRenderer, DataGridItemRenderer, UITextFieldGridItemRenderer

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

The UITextField class defines the component used by many Flex components to display text. For example, the mx.controls.Button control uses a UITextField component to define the label area of the Button control.

The UITextField class extends the flash.text.TextField class to support additional functionality required by Flex, such as CSS styles, invalidation/measurement/layout, enabling/disabling, tooltips, and IME (Input Method Editor) support for entering Chinese, Japanese, and Korean text.

Warning: if UITextField inherits layoutDirection="rtl", it will modify its own transform.matrix to restore the default coordinate system locally.
