TextField 675
Parameters
beginIndex:Number - The start index value for the replacement range.
endIndex:Number - The end index value for the replacement range.
newText:String - The text to use to replace the specified range of characters.
Example
The following example creates a text field called my_txt and assigns the text [e-mail]
to the field. The
indexOf() method is used to find the first occurrence of the specified
symbol (
@). If the symbol is found, the specified text (between the index of 0 and the symbol)
replaces with the string
bird. If the symbol is not found, an error message is displayed in the
Output panel.If the symbol is not found, an error message writes to the log file.
this.createTextField("my_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 10, 320,
22);
my_txt.autoSize = true;
my_txt.text = "[e-mail]";
var symbol:String = "@";
var symbolPos:Number = my_txt.text.indexOf(symbol);
if (symbolPos>-1) {
my_txt.replaceText(0, symbolPos, "bird");
} else {
trace("symbol '"+symbol+"' not found.");
}
_rotation (TextField._rotation property)
public _rotation : Number
The rotation of the text field, in degrees, from its original orientation. Values from 0 to 180
represent clockwise rotation; values from 0 to -180 represent counterclockwise rotation.
Values outside this range are added to or subtracted from 360 to obtain a value within the
range. For example, the statement
my_txt._rotation = 450 is the same as
my_txt._rotation = 90.
Rotation values are not supported for text fields that use device fonts. You must use embedded
fonts to use
_rotation with a text field.
Note: This property is not supported for Arabic, Hebrew, and Thai.
