TextInput.maxHPosition
Availability
Flash Player 6 (6.0.79.0).
Edition
Flash MX 2004.
Usage
textInputInstance.maxHPosition
Description
Read-only property; the value of maxHPosition is the pixel position of the character that is
visible when the pointer has been moved to the very right of the text. It’s not the last
character’s pixel position. Rather, it’s the pixel position all the way to the right of the last
character in the TextInput field. The default value is 0.
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.
Example
The following code creates a listener for a change event on the TextInput instance called
my_ti. When the change event occurs, the listener displays the current hPosition and
maxHPosition values for each character that the user enters:
/**
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 + " of " + my_ti.maxHPosition);
};
// Add listener.
my_ti.addEventListener("change", tiListener);
