Example
The following example creates two text fields:
username_txt and password_txt. Text is
entered into both text fields; however,
password_txt has the password property set to true.
Therefore, the characters display as asterisks instead of as characters in the
password_txt
field.
this.createTextField("username_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 10,
100, 22);
username_txt.border = true;
username_txt.type = "input";
username_txt.maxChars = 16;
username_txt.text = "hello";
this.createTextField("password_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 40,
100, 22);
password_txt.border = true;
password_txt.type = "input";
password_txt.maxChars = 16;
password_txt.password = true;
password_txt.text = "world";
_quality (TextField._quality property)
public _quality : String
Property (global); sets or retrieves the rendering quality used for a SWF file. Device fonts are
always aliased and, therefore, are unaffected by the
_quality property.
Note: Although you can specify this property for a TextField object, it is actually a global
property, and you can specify its value simply as
_quality. For more information, see the
_quality property.
The
_quality property can be set to the following values:
■ "LOW" Low rendering quality. Graphics are not anti-aliased, and bitmaps are not
smoothed.
■ "MEDIUM" Medium rendering quality. Graphics are anti-aliased using a 2 x 2 pixel grid, but
bitmaps are not smoothed. The quality is suitable for movies that do not contain text.
■ "HIGH" High rendering quality. Graphics are anti-aliased using a 4 x 4 pixel grid, and
bitmaps are smoothed if the movie is static. This is the default rendering quality used by
Flash.
■ "BEST" Very high rendering quality. Graphics are anti-aliased using a 4 x 4 pixel grid and
bitmaps are always smoothed.
Note: This property is not supported for Arabic, Hebrew, and Thai.
