1224 TextInput component
TextInput.hPosition
Availability
Flash Player 6 (6.0.79.0).
Edition
Flash MX 2004.
Usage
textInputInstance.hPosition
Description
Property; specifies how many pixels have been scrolled to accommodate the user’s entry in the
TextInput box. The default value is 0.
Example
The following example creates a listener for a change event on the TextInput instance called
my_ti. The listener accesses the hPosition property to display the current position for each
character the user enters.
You must first drag a TextInput component to the Stage and give it an instance name of
my_ti; then add the following code to Frame 1.
/**
Requires:
- TextInput instance on Stage (instance name: my_ti)
*/
var my_ti:mx.controls.TextInput;
// Create listener object.
var tiListener:Object = new Object();
tiListener.change = function(evt_obj:Object) {
trace("hPosition = " + my_ti.hPosition);
};
// Add listener.
my_ti.addEventListener("change", tiListener);
NOTE
The value changes for the same text on different computers because of monitor, screen
size, and font characteristics.
