| 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 endIndex():int public function set endIndex(value:int):voidfontFamily | property |
fontFamily:String| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |

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):voidkerning | 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.

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.
Parametersowner: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)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)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)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
