public class IME
extends Object
The IME class lets you directly manipulate the operating system's input method editor (IME)
in the Flash Player application that is running on a client computer. You can determine
whether an IME is installed, whether or not the IME is enabled, and which IME is enabled.
You can disable or enable the IME in the Flash Player application, and you can perform other
limited functions, depending on the operating system.
Input method editors let users type non-ASCII text characters in Asian languages such as
Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. For more information on IMEs, see the operating system
documentation for the platform for which you are developing applications. Some additional
resources for information about input methods are listed here:
