Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
Specifies the baseline to which the dominant baseline aligns. For example, if you set dominantBaseline
to ASCENT, setting alignmentBaseline
to DESCENT aligns the top of the text with the DESCENT baseline, or below the line. The largest element in the line generally determines the baselines.
Legal values are flash.text.engine.TextBaseline.ROMAN, flash.text.engine.TextBaseline.ASCENT, flash.text.engine.TextBaseline.DESCENT, flash.text.engine.TextBaseline.IDEOGRAPHIC_TOP, flash.text.engine.TextBaseline.IDEOGRAPHIC_CENTER, flash.text.engine.TextBaseline.IDEOGRAPHIC_BOTTOM, flash.text.engine.TextBaseline.USE_DOMINANT_BASELINE, flashx.textLayout.formats.FormatValue.INHERIT.

uses the fonts installed on the system that is running the SWF file. Device fonts result in a smaller movie size, but text is not always rendered the same across different systems and platforms. Specifying FontLookup.EMBEDDED_CFF
uses font outlines embedded in the published SWF file. Embedded fonts increase the size of the SWF file (sometimes dramatically), but text is consistently displayed in the chosen font.

justificationRule | property |
justificationRule:*
[read-only] Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
Rule used to justify text in a paragraph.
Default value is FormatValue.AUTO
, which justifies text based on the paragraph's locale
property. For all languages except Japanese and Chinese, FormatValue.AUTO
becomes JustificationRule.SPACE
, which adds extra space to the space characters. For Japanese and Chinese, FormatValue.AUTO
becomes JustficationRule.EAST_ASIAN
. In part, justification changes the spacing of punctuation. In Roman text the comma and Japanese periods take a full character's width but in East Asian text only half of a character's width. Also, in the East Asian text the spacing between sequential punctuation marks becomes tighter, obeying traditional East Asian typographic conventions. Note, too, in the example below the leading that is applied to the second line of the paragraphs. In the East Asian version, the last two lines push left. In the Roman version, the second and following lines push left.
Legal values are flashx.textLayout.formats.JustificationRule.EAST_ASIAN, flashx.textLayout.formats.JustificationRule.SPACE, flashx.textLayout.formats.FormatValue.AUTO, flashx.textLayout.formats.FormatValue.INHERIT.
Default value is undefined indicating not set.

The style used for justification of the paragraph. Used only in conjunction with a justificationRule
setting of JustificationRule.EAST_ASIAN
.
Default value of FormatValue.AUTO
is resolved to JustificationStyle.PUSH_IN_KINSOKU
for all locales. The constants defined by the JustificationStyle class specify options for handling kinsoku characters, which are Japanese characters that cannot appear at either the beginning or end of a line. If you want looser text, specify JustificationStyle.PUSH-OUT-ONLY
. If you want behavior that is like what you get with the justificationRule
of JustificationRule.SPACE
, use JustificationStyle.PRIORITIZE-LEAST-ADJUSTMENT
.

Setters can take an array of flashx.textLayout.formats.TabStopFormat, a condensed string representation, undefined, or FormatValue.INHERIT
. The condensed string representation is always converted into an array of flashx.textLayout.formats.TabStopFormat.
The string-based format is a list of tab stops, where each tab stop is delimited by one or more spaces.
A tab stop takes the following form: <alignment type><alignment position>|<alignment token>.
The alignment type is a single character, and can be S, E, C, or D (or lower-case equivalents). S or s for start, E or e for end, C or c for center, D or d for decimal. The alignment type is optional, and if its not specified will default to S.
The alignment position is a Number, and is specified according to FXG spec for Numbers (decimal or scientific notation). The alignment position is required.
The vertical bar is used to separate the alignment position from the alignment token, and should only be present if the alignment token is present.
The alignment token is optional if the alignment type is D, and should not be present if the alignment type is anything other than D. The alignment token may be any sequence of characters terminated by the space that ends the tab stop (for the last tab stop, the terminating space is optional; end of alignment token is implied). A space may be part of the alignment token if it is escaped with a backslash (\ ). A backslash may be part of the alignment token if it is escaped with another backslash (\\). If the alignment type is D, and the alignment token is not specified, it will take on the default value of null.
If no tab stops are specified, a tab action defaults to the end of the line.
Default value is undefined indicating not set.
If undefined during the cascade this property will inherit its value from an ancestor. If no ancestor has set this property, it will have a value of null.
