cursorSkin | property |
cursorSkin:DisplayObject
public function get cursorSkin():DisplayObject
public function set cursorSkin(value:DisplayObject):void
displayAsPassword | property |
displayAsPassword:Boolean
Indicates whether the text field is a password text field that hides input characters using a substitute character.

The default value is false
.

textEditor.isEditable = false;
The default value is true
.
public function get isEditable():Boolean
public function set isEditable(value:Boolean):void
maxChars | property |
maxChars:int
Indicates the maximum number of characters that a user can enter into
the text editor. A script can insert more text than maxChars
allows. If maxChars
equals zero, a user can enter an
unlimited amount of text into the text editor.
In the following example, the maximum character count is changed:
textEditor.maxChars = 10;
The default value is 0
.
public function get maxChars():int
public function set maxChars(value:int):void
nativeFocus | property |
nativeFocus:InteractiveObject
[read-only] A display object on the native stage that is given focus when this Feathers display object is given focus by a focus manager.
This property may return null
. When it returns
null
, the focus manager should treat this display object
like any other display object that may receive focus but doesn't
implement INativeFocusOwner
.
public function get nativeFocus():InteractiveObject
passwordCharCode | property |
passwordCharCode:int
The character code of the character used to display a password.
In the following example, the substitute character for passwords is set to a bullet:
textEditor.displayAsPassword = true; textEditor.passwordCharCode = "•".charCodeAt(0);
The default value is 42 (asterisk)
.
public function get passwordCharCode():int
public function set passwordCharCode(value:int):void
See also
restrict | property |
restrict:String
Restricts the set of characters that a user can enter into the text field. Only user interaction is restricted; a script can put any text into the text field.
In the following example, the text is restricted to numbers:
textEditor.restrict = "0-9";
The default value is null
.
public function get restrict():String
public function set restrict(value:String):void
selectionBeginIndex | property |
selectionBeginIndex:int
[read-only] The index of the first character of the selection. If no text is selected, then this is the value of the caret index.
public function get selectionBeginIndex():int
selectionEndIndex | property |
selectionEndIndex:int
[read-only] The index of the last character of the selection. If no text is selected, then this is the value of the caret index.
public function get selectionEndIndex():int
selectionSkin | property |
selectionSkin:DisplayObject
public function get selectionSkin():DisplayObject
public function set selectionSkin(value:DisplayObject):void
setTouchFocusOnEndedPhase | property |
setTouchFocusOnEndedPhase:Boolean
[read-only]
Determines if the owner should call setFocus()
on
TouchPhase.ENDED
or on TouchPhase.BEGAN
.
This is a hack because StageText
doesn't like being
assigned focus on TouchPhase.BEGAN
. In general, most
text editors should simply return false
.
The default value is false
.
public function get setTouchFocusOnEndedPhase():Boolean
