1204 ActionScript classes
Example
The following example allows only uppercase characters, spaces, and numbers to be entered
into a text field:
my_txt.restrict = "A-Z 0-9";
The following example includes all characters, but excludes lowercase letters:
my_txt.restrict = "^a-z";
You can use a backslash to enter a ^ or - verbatim. The accepted backslash sequences are \-, \^
or \\. The backslash must be an actual character in the string, so when specified in
ActionScript, a double backslash must be used. For example, the following code includes only
the dash (-) and caret (^):
my_txt.restrict = "\\-\\^";
The ^ may be used anywhere in the string to toggle between including characters and
excluding characters. The following code includes only uppercase letters, but excludes the
uppercase letter Q:
my_txt.restrict = "A-Z^Q";
You can use the
\u
escape sequence to construct
restrict
strings. The following code
includes only the characters from ASCII 32 (space) to ASCII 126 (tilde).
my_txt.restrict = "\u0020-\u007E";
_rotation (TextField._rotation property)
public _rotation : Number
The rotation of the text field, in degrees, from its original orientation. Values from 0 to 180
represent clockwise rotation; values from 0 to -180 represent counterclockwise rotation.
Values outside this range are added to or subtracted from 360 to obtain a value within the
range. For example, the statement
my_txt._rotation = 450
is the same as
my_txt._rotation = 90
.
Rotation values are not supported for text fields that use device fonts. You must use embedded
fonts to use
_rotation
with a text field.
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 6
Example
In this example, you need to create a dynamic text field called
my_txt
, and then use the
following ActionScript to embed fonts and rotate the text field. The reference to
my font
refers to a Font symbol in the library, with linkage set to
my font
.
var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
my_fmt.font = "my font";
