Property Detail

cursorSkin

property

displayAsPassword

property

displayAsPassword:Boolean

This property is managed by the TextInput.

Determines if the entered text will be masked so that it cannot be seen, such as for a password input.

In the following example, the text input's text is displayed as a password:

input.displayAsPassword = true;

Implementation
public function get displayAsPassword():Boolean
public function set displayAsPassword(value:Boolean):void

globalStyleProvider

property

public static var globalStyleProvider:IStyleProvider

The default IStyleProvider for all TextBlockTextEditor components.

The default value is null.

isEditable

property

isEditable:Boolean

This property is managed by the TextInput.

Determines if the text input is editable. If the text input is not editable, it will still appear enabled.

In the following example, the text input is not editable:

input.isEditable = false;

Implementation
public function get isEditable():Boolean
public function set isEditable(value:Boolean):void

See also

feathers.controls.TextInput.isEditable

isSelectable

property

isSelectable:Boolean

This property is managed by the TextInput.

If the isEditable property is set to false, the isSelectable property determines if the text is selectable. If the isEditable property is set to true, the text will always be selectable.

In the following example, the text input is not selectable:

input.isEditable = false;
input.isSelectable = false;

Implementation
public function get isSelectable():Boolean
public function set isSelectable(value:Boolean):void

maxChars

property

See also

feathers.controls.TextInput.maxChars

nativeFocus

property

nativeFocus:Object [read-only]

An object external to Starling that must be given focus when this Feathers component is given focus by a focus manager.

This property may return null. When it returns null, the focus manager should treat this display object like any other display object that may receive focus but doesn't implement INativeFocusOwner.

If this property doesn't return a flash.display.InteractiveObject, the class must also implement IAdvancedNativeFocusOwner.

Implementation
public function get nativeFocus():Object

passwordCharCode

property

passwordCharCode:int

The character code of the character used to display a password.

In the following example, the substitute character for passwords is set to a bullet:

textEditor.displayAsPassword = true;
textEditor.passwordCharCode = "•".charCodeAt(0);

The default value is 42 (asterisk).

Implementation
public function get passwordCharCode():int
public function set passwordCharCode(value:int):void

See also

displayAsPassword

restrict

property

restrict:String

input.restrict = "0-9";

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

See also

feathers.controls.TextInput.restrict

selectionActiveIndex

property

See also

selectionBeginIndex

selectionSkin

property

selectionSkin:DisplayObject

The skin that indicates the currently selected range of text.

Implementation
public function get selectionSkin():DisplayObject
public function set selectionSkin(value:DisplayObject):void

setTouchFocusOnEndedPhase

property

setTouchFocusOnEndedPhase:Boolean [read-only]

Determines if the owner should call setFocus() on TouchPhase.ENDED or on TouchPhase.BEGAN. This is a hack because StageText doesn't like being assigned focus on TouchPhase.BEGAN. In general, most text editors should simply return false.
