I’ve just started messing around with the Text Layout component for CS4. Adobe doesn’t even manage to explain how to assign text to the field (amazing, huh?) in their Help file.
import flash.display.DisplayObject;
import fl.controls.TextLayout;
/* textLayout_flash is the base class for the Text Layout component. If you bring up the properties on the TextLayout Component in the library, you will see this.*/
var myTextComponent:TextLayout;
// Instantiate the textLayout_flash class to create a TextLayout Component.
myTextComponent = new TextLayout();
// Add the new component to the Stage.
var myTextComponentOnStage:DisplayObject = addChild(myTextComponent);
// Get the Text Flow from the TextLayout Component.
var myTextFlow:Object = myTextComponent.textFlow;
// Change the color of the text to red.
myTextFlow.color = 0xFF0000;
How is text imported to the component using AS3?
