RichText is a low-level UIComponent that can display one or more lines of richly-formatted text and embedded images.
For performance reasons, it does not support scrolling, selection, editing, clickable hyperlinks, or images loaded from URLs. If you need those capabilities, please see the RichEditableText class.
RichText uses the Text Layout Framework (TLF) library, which in turn builds on the Flash Text Engine (FTE) in Flash Player 10. In combination, they provide rich text layout using high-quality international typography.
The Spark architecture provides three text "primitives" -- Label, RichText, and RichEditableText. Label is the fastest and most lightweight because it uses only FTE, not TLF, but it is limited in its capabilities: no rich text, no scrolling, no selection, and no editing. RichText adds the ability to display rich text with complex layout, but is still completely non-interactive. RichEditableText is the heaviest-weight, but offers most of what TLF can do. You should use the lightest-weight text primitive that meets your needs.
RichText is similar to the MX control mx.controls.Text. The Text control uses the older TextField class, instead of TLF, to display text.
The most important differences between RichText and Text are:
- RichText offers better typography, better support for international languages, and better text layout than Text.
- RichText has an object-oriented model of what it displays, while Text does not.
- Text is selectable, while RichText does not support selection.
RichText uses TLF's object-oriented model of rich text,
in which text layout elements such as divisions, paragraphs, spans,
and images are represented at runtime by ActionScript objects
which can be programmatically accessed and manipulated.
The central object in TLF for representing rich text is a
TextFlow, and you specify what RichText should display
by setting its textFlow property to a TextFlow instance.
(Please see the description of the textFlow
property for information about how to create one.)
You can also set the text property that
is inherited from TextBase, but if you don't need
the richness of a TextFlow, you should consider using
Label instead.
At compile time, you can put TLF markup tags inside the RichText tag, as the following example shows:
<s:RichText>Hello <s:span fontWeight="bold">World!</s:span></s:RichText>In this case, the MXML compiler sets the
content
property, causing a TextFlow to be automatically created
from the FlowElements that you specify.
The default text formatting is determined by CSS styles
such as fontFamily, fontSize.
Any formatting information in the TextFlow overrides
the default formatting provided by the CSS styles.
You can control the spacing between lines with the
lineHeight style and the spacing between
paragraphs with the paragraphSpaceBefore
and paragraphSpaceAfter styles.
You can align or justify the text using the textAlign
and textAlignLast styles.
You can inset the text from the component's edges using the
paddingLeft, paddingTop,
paddingRight, and paddingBottom styles.
If you don't specify any kind of width for a RichText, then the longest line, as determined by these explicit line breaks, determines the width of the Label.
When you specify a width, the text wraps at the right
edge of the component and the text is clipped when there is more
text than fits.
If you set the lineBreak style to explicit,
new lines will start only at explicit lines breaks, such as
if you use CR (\r), LF (\n),
or CR+LF (\r\n) in text
or if you use <p> and <br/>
in TLF markup. In that case, lines that are wider than the control
are clipped.
If you have more text than you have room to display it,
RichText can truncate the text for you.
Truncating text means replacing excess text
with a truncation indicator such as "...".
See the inherited properties maxDisplayedLines
and isTruncated.
By default,RichText has no background,
but you can draw one using the backgroundColor
and backgroundAlpha styles.
Borders are not supported.
If you need a border, or a more complicated background, use a separate
graphic element, such as a Rect, behind the RichText.
Because RichText uses TLF,
it supports displaying left-to-right (LTR) text such as French,
right-to-left (RTL) text such as Arabic, and bidirectional text
such as a French phrase inside of an Arabic one.
If the predominant text direction is right-to-left,
set the direction style to rtl.
The textAlign style defaults to "start",
which makes the text left-aligned when direction
is ltr and right-aligned when direction
is rtl.
To get the opposite alignment,
set textAlign to end.
RichText uses TLF's StringTextFlowFactory and TextFlowTextLineFactory classes to create one or more TextLine objects to statically display its text. For performance, its TextLines do not contain information about individual glyphs; for more info, see the TextLineValidity class.
To use this component in a list-based component, such as a List or DataGrid, create an item renderer. For information about creating an item renderer, see Custom Spark item renderers.
