TextArea.wordWrap
Availability
Flash Player 6 (6.0.79.0).
Edition
Flash MX 2004.
Usage
textAreaInstance.wordWrap
Description
Property; a Boolean value that indicates whether the text wraps (true) or not (false). The
default value is
true.
Example
The following example sets the wordwrap property to false for the TextArea called my_ta,
causing it to have a horizontal scroll bar to access the text beyond the side boundaries.
You must first add an instance of the TextArea component to the Stage and name it my_ta;
then add the following code to Frame 1.
/**
Requires:
- TextArea instance on Stage (instance name: my_ta)
*/
var my_ta:mx.controls.TextArea;
my_ta.setSize(320, 240);
my_ta.wordWrap = false;
//my_ta.vScrollPolicy = "off";
// Load text to display and define onData handler.
var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
my_lv.onData = function(src:String) {
if (src != undefined) {
my_ta.text = src;
} else {
my_ta.text = "Error loading text.";
}
};
my_lv.load("http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/lorem.txt");
NOTE
If you create a TextArea instance using the createClassObject() method, the default
for wordWrap is false.
