The TextFlowLine class represents a single line of text in a text flow.
Use this class to access information about how a line of text has been composed: its position,
height, width, and so on. When the text flow (TextFlow) is modified, the lines immediately before and at the
site of the modification are marked as invalid because they need to be recomposed. Lines after
the site of the modification might not be damaged immediately, but they might be regenerated once the
text is composed. You can access a TextFlowLine that has been damaged, but any values you access
reflect the old state of the TextFlow. When the TextFlow is recomposed, it generates new lines and you can
get the new line for a given position by calling TextFlow.flowComposer.findLineAtPosition()
.

See also
spaceAfter:Number
[read-only]
Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
The amount of space to leave after the line.
If the line is the last line of a paragraph that has a space-after, the line will have
a spaceAfter
value. If the line comes at the bottom of a column, then the spaceAfter
is ignored. Otherwise, the line comes before another line in the column, and the following line must be positioned vertically to
insure that there is at least this much space left between this last line of the paragraph and the first
line of the following paragraph.
Implementation public function get spaceAfter():Number
See also
spaceBefore:Number
[read-only]
Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
The amount of space to leave before the line.
If the line is the first line of a paragraph that has a space-before applied, the line will have
a spaceBefore
value. If the line comes at the top of a column, spaceBefore
is ignored.
Otherwise, the line follows another line in the column, and it is positioned vertically to insure that there is
at least this much space left between this line and the last line of the preceding paragraph.
Implementation public function get spaceBefore():Number
See also
textHeight:Number
[read-only]
Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
The height of the text line, which is equal to ascent
plus descent
. The
value is calculated based on the difference between the baselines that bound the line, either
ideographic top and bottom or ascent and descent depending on whether the baseline at y=0
is ideographic (for example, TextBaseline.IDEOGRAPHIC_TOP) or not.
Implementation public function get textHeight():Number

TextBaseline
textLength:int
[read-only]
Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
The number of characters to the next line, including trailing spaces.
Implementation public function get textLength():int
textLineExists:Boolean
[read-only]
Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
Indicates whether the flash.text.engine.TextLine
object for this TextFlowLine exists.
The value is true
if the TextLine object has not been garbage collected and
false
if it has been.
Implementation public function get textLineExists():Boolean

TextLine
unjustifiedTextWidth:Number
[read-only]
Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
The width of the line if it was not justified. For unjustified text, this value is the same as textLength
.
For justified text, this value is what the length would have been without justification, and textLength
represents the actual line width. For example, when the following String is justified and assigned a width of 500, it
has an actual width of 500 but an unjustified width of 268.9921875.
Implementation public function get unjustifiedTextWidth():Number
validity:String
[read-only]
Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
The validity of the line.
A line can be invalid if the text, the attributes applied to it, or the controller settings have
changed since the line was created. An invalid line can still be displayed, and you can use it, but the values
used will be the values at the time it was created. The line returned by getTextLine()
also will be in an
invalid state.
Implementation public function get validity():String

x:Number
Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
The horizontal position of the line relative to its container, expressed as the offset in pixels from the
left of the container.
Note: Although this property is technically read-write
,
you should treat it as read-only
. The setter exists only to satisfy the
requirements of the IVerticalJustificationLine interface that defines both a getter and setter for this property.
Use of the setter, though possible, will lead to unpredictable results.
Implementation public function get x():Number
public function set x(value:Number):void

y:Number
Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
The vertical position of the line relative to its container, expressed as the offset in pixels from the top
of the container.
Note: Although this property is technically read-write
,
you should treat it as read-only
. The setter exists only to satisfy the
requirements of the IVerticalJustificationLine interface that defines both a getter and setter for this property.
Use of the setter, though possible, will lead to unpredictable results.
