Methods (7)

delegateInitSelection()

<method name="delegateInitSelection" />

public function delegateInitSelection();

Initialize the selection region on focus event

delegateRestoreSelection()

<method name="delegateRestoreSelection" />

public function delegateRestoreSelection();

Restore the selection region, but do it in the next "frame." This is necessary because Flash is frame-based and can't handle certain selection changes in a single "frame."

reset()

<method name="reset" />

public function reset();

Reset the values of the richtexteditor.

saveSelectionRegion()

<method name="saveSelectionRegion" />

public function saveSelectionRegion();

Save selected region.

setCurrentFormat()

<method name="setCurrentFormat" args="fmt, inCaretMove" />

public function setCurrentFormat(fmt : textformat, inCaretMove : boolean);

Change the format of the selection by attributes contained in TextFormat object.

setFormatAttribute()

<method name="setFormatAttribute" args="attr, val" />

public function setFormatAttribute(attr : string, val : string);

Change the format of the selection by just one attribute. This allows the selection to keep non-uniform formats on attributes which are not being adjusted. That is: select "pear, cherry", where pear is green and cherry is red. Change the font to helvetica using the combo box. Now it's all helvetica, but pear is still green and cherry is still red. If no text is currently selected, format the insertion point. This handles character formatting only. Not paragraph formatting. See setParagraphAttribute.

setSelection()

<method name="setSelection" args="ns, ne" />

public function setSelection(ns, ne);
