TextArea.wordWrap

Availability

Flash Player 6 (6.0.79.0).

Edition

Flash MX 2004.

Usage

textAreaInstance.wordWrap

Description

Property; a Boolean value that indicates whether the text wraps (true) or not (false). The default value is true.

NOTE

If you create a TextArea instance using the createClassObject() method, the default for wordWrap is false.

Example

The following example sets the wordwrap property to false for the TextArea called my_ta, causing it to have a horizontal scroll bar to access the text beyond the side boundaries.

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.setSize(320, 240);
my_ta.wordWrap = false;
//my_ta.vScrollPolicy = "off";

// Load text to display and define onData handler.
var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
my_lv.onData = function(src:String) {
    if (src != undefined) {
        my_ta.text = src;
    } else {
        my_ta.text = "Error loading text.";
    }
};
my_lv.load("http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/lorem.txt");
