[. . . ] right The left and bottom sides of the label are resized to fit the text. The top and right sides are not resized. The autoSize property of the Label component is different from the autoSize property of the built-in ActionScript TextField object. N OT E Example In following example, the label instance my_label resizes the left and bottom sides of the label to fit all the text: my_label. text = "A really long label with Label. autoSize set"; my_label. autoSize = "right"; Label. html Availability Flash Player 6 (6. 0. 79. 0). Edition Flash MX 2004. 758 Label component Usage labelInstance. html Description Property; a Boolean value that indicates whether the label can be formatted with HTML (true) or not (false). Label components with the html property set to true cannot be formatted with styles. To retrieve plain text from HTML-formatted text, set the HTML property to false and then access the text property. This removes the HTML formatting, so you may want to copy the label text to an offscreen Label or TextArea component before you retrieve the plain text. Example The following example sets the html property to true so the label can be formatted with HTML. The text property is then set to a string that includes HTML formatting. my_label. html = true; my_label. text = "The <b>Royal</b> Nonesuch"; my_label. autoSize = "right"; The word "Royal" is displayed in bold. Label. text Availability Flash Player 6 (6. 0. 79. 0). Edition Flash MX 2004. Usage labelInstance. text Description Property; the text of a label. The default value is "Label". Example The following code sets the text property of the Label instance my_label and sends the value to the Output panel: my_label. text = "The Royal Nonesuch"; trace(my_label. text); Label. text 759 760 Label component CHAPTER 27 List component The List component is a scrollable single- or multiple-selection list box. A list can also display graphics, including other components. You add the items displayed in the list by using the Values dialog box that appears when you click in the labels or data parameter fields. You can also use the List. addItem() and List. addItemAt() methods to add items to the list. The List component uses a zero-based index, where the item with index 0 is the top item displayed. When adding, removing, or replacing list items using the List class methods and properties, you may need to specify the index of the list item. The list receives focus when you click it or tab to it, and you can then use the following keys to control it: Key Alphanumeric keys Control Down Arrow Home Page Down Page Up Shift Up Arrow N OT E 27 Description Jump to the next item that has Key. getAscii() as the first character in its label. Toggle key that allows multiple noncontiguous selections and deselections. Selection moves up one item. The page size used by the Page Up and Page Down keys is one less than the number of items that fit in the display. For example, paging down through a ten-line drop-down list shows items 0-9, 9-18, 18-27, and so on, with one item overlapping per page. For more information about controlling focus, see "FocusManager class" on page 721 or "Creating custom focus navigation" in Using Components. 761 A live preview of each List instance on the Stage reflects changes made to parameters in the Property inspector or Component inspector during authoring. When you add the List component to an application, you can use the Accessibility panel to make it accessible to screen readers. First, you must add the following line of code to enable accessibility: mx. accessibility. ListAccImpl. enableAccessibility(); You enable accessibility for a component only once, regardless of how many instances the component has. For more information, see Chapter 19, "Creating Accessible Content, " in Using Flash. Using the List component You can set up a list so that users can make either single or multiple selections. For example, a user visiting an e-commerce website needs to select which item to buy. There are 30 items, and the user scrolls through a list and selects one by clicking it. You can also design a list that uses custom movie clips as rows so you can display more information to the user.
