textAreaInstance.maxChars
Property; the maximum number of characters that the text area can contain. A script may insert more text than the maxChars property allows; the property indicates only how much text a user can enter. If the value of this property is null, there is no limit to the amount of text a user can enter. The default value is null.
The following example sets the maxchars property to limit the number of characters a user can enter to 24.
You must first add an instance of the TextArea component to the Stage and name it my_ta; then add the following code to Frame 1.
/**
Requires:
- TextArea instance on Stage (instance name: my_ta)
*/
var my_ta:mx.controls.TextArea;
my_ta.maxChars = 24;
// Define a listener object.
var taListener:Object = new Object();
taListener.change = function(evt_obj:Object) {
trace("my_ta.length is now: " + my_ta.length + " characters");
};
my_ta.addEventListener("change", taListener);
