getParagraphLength()method 
public function getParagraphLength(charIndex:int):int

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 3
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Parameters

charIndex:int

Returns
int
getStyle()method 
public function getStyle(styleProp:String):*

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 3
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Gets a style property that has been set anywhere in this component's style lookup chain.

This same method is used to get any kind of style property, so the value returned can be a Boolean, String, Number, int, uint (for an RGB color), Class (for a skin), or any kind of object. Therefore the return type is simply specified as *.

If you are getting a particular style property, you know its type and often want to store the result in a variable of that type. No casting from * to that type is necessary.

var backgroundColor:uint = getStyle("backgroundColor");

If the style property has not been set anywhere in the style lookup chain, the value returned by getStyle() is undefined. Note that undefined is a special value that is not the same as false, "", NaN, 0, or null. No valid style value is ever undefined. You can use the method IStyleManager2.isValidStyleValue() to test whether the value was set.

Parameters

styleProp:String — Name of the style property.

Returns
* — Style value.

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0

Returns a UITextFormat object that contains formatting information for this component. This method is similar to the getTextFormat() method of the flash.text.TextField class, but it returns a UITextFormat object instead of a TextFormat object.
