Property Detail

lineCountLimit

property
lineCountLimit:int

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

The maximum number of lines to create.



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

truncationIndicator

property 
truncationIndicator:String

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

A string used to indicate that content could not be fully displayed because of limits on the number of lines.



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

truncationIndicatorFormat

property 
truncationIndicatorFormat:flashx.textLayout.formats:ITextLayoutFormat

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Constructor Detail

TruncationOptions

()Constructor
public function TruncationOptions(truncationIndicator:String, lineCountLimit:int, truncationIndicatorFormat:flashx.textLayout.formats:ITextLayoutFormat = null)

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Creates a TruncationOptions object.

Parameters
truncationIndicator:String (default = NaN) — the string used to indicate that text has been truncated. It appears at the end of the composed text. The default value is the horizontal ellipsis (U+2026).
 
lineCountLimit:int (default = NaN) — specifies a truncation criterion in the form of the maximum number of lines allowed. The default value of NO_LINE_COUNT_LIMIT indicates that there is no line count limit.
 
truncationIndicatorFormat:flashx.textLayout.formats:ITextLayoutFormat (default = null) — specifies the format for the truncation indicator. A null format (the default value) specifies that the truncation indicator assume the format of content just before the truncation point. The TextLineFactory methods that take a simple string as input also ignore this parameter and implement the default behavior.
