Property Detail
fontStylesproperty
fontStyles:FontStylesSet

The internal font styles used to render the text that are passed down from the parent component. Generally, most developers will set font styles on the parent component.

Warning: The fontStyles property may be ignored if more advanced styles defined by the text renderer implementation have been set.


Implementation
    public function get fontStyles():FontStylesSet
    public function set fontStyles(value:FontStylesSet):void

See also

numLinesproperty 
numLines:int  [read-only]

The number of text lines in the text renderer. The text renderer may contain multiple text lines if the text contains line breaks or if the wordWrap property is enabled.


Implementation
    public function get numLines():int
textproperty 
text:String

The text to render.

If using the Label component, this property should be set on the Label, and it will be passed down to the text renderer.


Implementation
    public function get text():String
    public function set text(value:String):void
wordWrapproperty 
wordWrap:Boolean

Determines if the text wraps to the next line when it reaches the width (or max width) of the component.

This property is sometimes controlled by the parent component, such as on a Label component. If using the Label component, this property must be set on the Label, and it will be passed down to the text renderer automatically.


Implementation
    public function get wordWrap():Boolean
    public function set wordWrap(value:Boolean):void
Method Detail
measureText()method
public function measureText(result:Point = null):Point

Measures the text's bounds (without a full validation, if possible).

Parameters

result:Point (default = null)

Returns
Point
