The TextJustifier class is an abstract base class for the justifier types that you can apply to a TextBlock, specifically the EastAsianJustifier and SpaceJustifier classes.

You cannot instantiate the TextJustifier class directly. Invoking new TextJustifier() throws an ArgumentError exception. Setting the properties of an EastAsianJustifier or SpaceJustifier object after you apply it to a TextBlock does not invalidate the TextBlock.

Specifies the line justification for the text in a text block.

Use the following constants defined by the LineJustification as valid values for this property:

String valueDescription
LineJustification.UNJUSTIFIEDGenerates unjustified lines.
LineJustification.ALL_BUT_LASTGenerates all lines justified except for the last one.
LineJustification.ALL_INCLUDING_LASTGenerates all lines justified.



Implementation
    public function get lineJustification():String
    public function set lineJustification(value:String):void

locale:String  [read-only]

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Specifies the locale to determine the justification rules for the text in a text block. Standard locale identifiers are used. For example "en", "en_US" and "en-US" are all English, "ja" is Japanese.



Implementation
    public function get locale():String

Throws
ArgumentError — The locale specified is null or too short to represent a valid locale.
Constructor Detail
TextJustifier()Constructor
public function TextJustifier(locale:String, lineJustification:String)

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Calling the new TextJustifier() constructor throws an ArgumentError exception. You can, however, call constructors for the following subclasses of TextJustifier:

Parameters
locale:String — The locale to determine the justification rules.
 
lineJustification:String — The type of line justification for the paragraph. Use LineJustification constants for this property.

Throws
ArgumentError — The locale specified is null or too short to represent a valid locale.
 
ArgumentError — The lineJustification specified is not a member of LineJustification.

Method Detail
clone()method
public function clone():flash.text.engine:TextJustifier

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Constructs a cloned copy of the TextJustifier.

Subclasses of TextJustifier must override this method.

Returns
flash.text.engine:TextJustifier — A copy of the TextJustifier object.
getJustifierForLocale()method 
public static function getJustifierForLocale(locale:String):flash.text.engine:TextJustifier

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Constructs a default TextJustifier subclass appropriate to the specified locale.

If the locale is Chinese, Korean, or Japanese, the method constructs a default EastAsianJustifier object. Otherwise the text engine constructs a default SpaceJustifier object.

Parameters

locale:String — The locale to determine the justifier constructed.

Returns
flash.text.engine:TextJustifier — A reference to a TextJustifier object.

Throws
ArgumentError — The locale specified is null or too short to represent a valid locale.
