Property Detail

beginIndex

property
beginIndex:int

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

Zero-based index in the control's text field of the first character in the range. If the fifth character in the text is the first character in the range, this property has a value of 4.



Implementation
    public function get beginIndex():int
    public function set beginIndex(value:int):void

bullet

property 
bullet:Boolean

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

Whether the text in the range is in a bulleted list. If only part of the range is in a bulleted list, this value is false.



Implementation
    public function get bullet():Boolean
    public function set bullet(value:Boolean):void

color

property 
color:Object

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

Color of the text in the range. You can set this value using any valid color identifier. The property returns the value as a numeric value. If the range has multiple colors, this value is null.



Implementation
    public function get color():Object
    public function set color(value:Object):void

endIndex

property 
endIndex:int

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

Zero-based index in the control's text field of the point immediately after the last character in the range; equivalent to the One-based index of the last character. If the fifth character in the text is the last character in the range, this property has a value of 5.



Implementation
    public function get endIndex():int
    public function set endIndex(value:int):void

fontFamily

property 
fontFamily:String

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

Name of the font for text in the range. If the range has multiple fonts, this value is null.



Implementation
    public function get fontFamily():String
    public function set fontFamily(value:String):void

fontSize

property 
fontSize:int

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

Point size of the text in the range. If the range has multiple sizes, this value is 0.



Implementation
    public function get fontSize():int
    public function set fontSize(value:int):void

fontStyle

property 
fontStyle:String

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

Style of the font in the range, as "italic" or "normal". Setting the property to any other string results in normal style. If the range has multiple styles, this value is null.



Implementation
    public function get fontStyle():String
    public function set fontStyle(value:String):void

fontWeight

property 
fontWeight:String

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

Weight of the font in the range, as "bold" or "normal". Setting the property to any other string results in normal weight. If the range has multiple weights, this value is null.



Implementation
    public function get fontWeight():String
    public function set fontWeight(value:String):void

htmlText

property 
htmlText:String

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

Contents of the range in the form of HTML text. This property returns all HTML markup for the range, including markup for formatting that is applied by Flex, not just HTML that you specify in using an htmlText property. This property is, therefore, a full HTML representation of the text as it appears in the control.



Implementation
    public function get htmlText():String
    public function set htmlText(value:String):void

kerning

property 
kerning:Boolean

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

A Boolean value that indicates whether kerning is enabled (true) or disabled (false). Kerning adjusts the pixels between certain character pairs to improve readability, and should be used only when necessary, such as with headings in large fonts. Kerning is supported for embedded fonts only. Certain fonts, such as Verdana, and monospaced fonts, such as Courier New, do not support kerning.

The default value is false.



Implementation
    public function get kerning():Boolean
    public function set kerning(value:Boolean):void

letterSpacing

property 
letterSpacing:Number

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0

Constructor Detail

TextRange

()Constructor
public function TextRange(owner:UIComponent, modifiesSelection:Boolean = false, beginIndex:int = -1, endIndex:int = -1)

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

Create a new TextRange Object that represents a subset of the contents of a text control, including the formatting information.

Parameters
owner:UIComponent — The control that contains the text. The control must have a textField property, or, as is the case of the RichTextEditor control, a textArea property.
 
modifiesSelection:Boolean (default = false) — Whether to select the text in the range. If you set this parameter to true and do not specify a begin or end index that corresponds to text in the control, Flex uses the begin or end index of the current text selection. If this parameter is true, you omit the beginIndex and endIndex parameters, and there is no selection, the TextRange object is empty.
 
beginIndex:int (default = -1) — Zero-based index of the first character in the range. If the modifiesSelection parameter is false and you omit this parameter or specify a negative value, the range starts with the first text character.
 
endIndex:int (default = -1) — Zero-based index of the position after the last character in the range. If the modifiesSelection parameter is false and you omit this parameter, specify a negative value, or specify a value past the end of the text, the range ends with the last text character.
