flash.text.ime.CompositionAttributeRange - Adobe® Flex® 4 Language Reference (Flex 4)

Package	flash.text.ime
Class	public final class CompositionAttributeRange
Inheritance	CompositionAttributeRange Object

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 10.1, AIR 1.5

The CompositionAttributeRange class represents a range of composition attributes for use with IME events. For example, when editing text in the IME, the text is divided by the IME into composition ranges. These composition ranges are flagged as selected (i.e. currently being lengthened, shortened, or edited), and/or converted (i.e. they have made one pass through the IME dictionary lookup already).

By convention, the client should adorn these composition ranges with underlining or hiliting according to the flags.

For example:

     !converted              = thick gray underline (raw text)
     !selected && converted  = thin black underline
      selected && converted  = thick black underline
