Language version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime version: 

An IMEEvent object is dispatched when the user enters text using an input method editor (IME). IMEs are generally used to enter text from languages that have ideographs instead of letters, such as Japanese, Chinese, and Korean. There are two IME events: IMEEvent.IME_COMPOSITION and IMEEvent.IME_START_COMPOSITION.

Property detail
imeClientproperty
imeClient:IIMEClient  [read-write]

Language version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime version: 

Specifies an object that implements the IMEClient interface. Components based on the flash.text.engine package must implement this interface to support editing text inline using an IME.

Implementation
    public function get imeClient():IIMEClient
    public function set imeClient(value:IIMEClient):void
Constructor detail
IMEEvent()constructor
public function IMEEvent(type:String, bubbles:Boolean = false, cancelable:Boolean = false, text:String = "", imeClient:IIMEClient = null)

Language version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime version: 

Creates an Event object with specific information relevant to IME events. Event objects are passed as parameters to event listeners.

Parameters
type:String — The type of the event. Event listeners can access this information through the inherited type property. There is only one IME event: IMEEvent.IME_COMPOSITION.
 
bubbles:Boolean (default = false) — Determines whether the Event object participates in the bubbling stage of the event flow. Event listeners can access this information through the inherited bubbles property.
 
cancelable:Boolean (default = false) — Determines whether the Event object can be canceled. Event listeners can access this information through the inherited cancelable property.
 
text:String (default = "") — The reading string from the IME. This is the initial string as typed by the user, before selection of any candidates. The final composition string is delivered to the object with keyboard focus in a TextEvent.TEXT_INPUT event. Event listeners can access this information through the text property.
 
imeClient:IIMEClient (default = null) — A set of callbacks used by the text engine to communicate with the IME. Useful if your code has its own text engine and is rendering lines of text itself, rather than using TextField objects or the TextLayoutFramework.

Method detail
clone()method
public override function clone():Event

Language version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime version: 

Creates a copy of the IMEEvent object and sets the value of each property to match that of the original.

Returns
Event — A new IMEEvent object with property values that match those of the original.
toString()method 
public override function toString():String

Language version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime version: 

Returns a string that contains all the properties of the IMEEvent object. The string is in the following format:

[IMEEvent type=value bubbles=value cancelable=value text=value]

Returns
String — A string that contains all the properties of the IMEEvent object.
Constant detail
IME_COMPOSITIONconstant
public static const IME_COMPOSITION:String = "imeComposition"

Language version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime version: 

Defines the value of the type property of an imeComposition event object.

This event has the following properties:

PropertyValue
bubblesfalse
cancelablefalse; there is no default behavior to cancel.
currentTargetThe object that is actively processing the Event object with an event listener.
targetThe IME object.

flash.system.IME.imeComposition
IME_START_COMPOSITIONconstant 
public static const IME_START_COMPOSITION:String = "imeStartComposition"

Language version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime version: 

To handle IME text input, the receiver must set the imeClient field of the event to an object that implements the IIMEClient interface. If imeClient is unset, the runtime uses out-of-line IME composition instead, and sends the final composition as a TEXT_INPUT event.

This event has the following properties:

PropertyValue
bubblesfalse
cancelablefalse; there is no default behavior to cancel.
currentTargetThe object that is actively processing the Event object with an event listener.
targetThe IME object.
