Flash Text Engine の例:ニュースレイアウト

Flash Player 10 以降、Adobe AIR 1.5 以降

このプログラミング例は、単純な新聞のページのレイアウトに使用される Flash Text Engine を示しています。ページには、大きなヘッドライン、サブヘッドおよび複数列の本文セクションが含まれます。

まず、FLA ファイルを作成し、次のコードをデフォルトレイヤーのフレーム #2 に関連付けます。

import com.example.programmingas3.newslayout.StoryLayout ; 
// frame sc ript - create  a 3-columned arti cle layout 
var story:StoryLayout = new StoryLayout(720, 500, 3, 10); 
story.x = 20; 
story.y = 80; 
addChild(story); 
stop();

StoryLayout.as は、この例のコントローラースクリプトです。このスクリプトは、コンテンツを設定し、外部スタイルシートからスタイル情報を読み取り、これらのスタイルを ElementFormat オブジェクトに割り当てます。次に、ヘッドライン、サブヘッドおよび複数列のテキストエレメントを作成します。

        "At the time Mr. Burke made his violent speech last winter in the English Parliament against the French Revolution and the National Assembly, I was in Paris, and had written to him but a short time before to inform him how prosperously matters were going on. Soon after this I saw his advertisement of the Pamphlet he intended to publish: As the attack was to be made in a language but little studied, and less understood in France, and as everything suffers by translation, I promised some of the friends of the Revolution in that country that whenever Mr. Burke's Pamphlet came forth, I would answer it. This appeared to me the more necessary to be done, when I saw the flagrant misrepresentations which Mr. Burke's Pamphlet contains; and that while it is an outrageous abuse on the French Revolution, and the principles of Liberty, it is an imposition on the rest of the world. " + 
        "I am the more astonished and disappointed at this conduct in Mr. Burke, as (from the circumstances I am going to mention) I had formed other expectations. " + 
        "I had seen enough of the miseries of war, to wish it might never more have existence in the world, and that some other mode might be found out to settle the differences that should occasionally arise in the neighbourhood of nations. This certainly might be done if Courts were disposed to set honesty about it, or if countries were enlightened enough not to be made the dupes of Courts. The people of America had been bred up in the same prejudices against France, which at that time characterised the people of England; but experience and an acquaintance with the French Nation have most effectually shown to the Americans the falsehood of those prejudices; and I do not believe that a more cordial and confidential intercourse exists between any two countries than between America and France.

MultiColumnText.as は、複数列設計のテキストのフォーマットを処理します。テキスト行の作成、フォーマットおよび配置のためのファクトリとしての TextBlock オブジェクトの柔軟な使用方法も示します。
