Language version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
The TextLineMirrorRegion class represents a portion of a text line wherein events are mirrored to another event dispatcher.
After normal event-dispatching for a text line finishes, if the line is valid and event propagation has not been stopped,
events are re dispatched to the mirror regions of the line.
Mirroring of mouse events is a special case. Because mirror regions aren't actually display objects, mouseOver
and mouseOut
events are simulated for them. The rollOver
and rollOut
events are not simulated. All naturally occuring
mouseOver
, mouseOut
, rollOver
and rollOut
events (whether targetted at the
text line or at children of the text line) are ignored - they are not mirrored.
You cannot create a TextLineMirrorRegion object directly from ActionScript code.
If you call new TextLineMirrorRegion()
, an exception is thrown. A TextLineMirrorRegion is created and associated with a text line when that
text line is created from a ContentElement object with an event mirror set.
The TextLineMirrorRegion class is final; it cannot be subclassed.

bounds:Rectangle
[read-only]
Language version: | ActionScript 3.0
|
The bounds of the mirror region, relative to the text line.
Implementation
public function get bounds():Rectangle
element:ContentElement
[read-only]
Language version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
The ContentElement
object from which the mirror region was derived.
Implementation
public function get element():ContentElement
Throws
| Error — The TextLine to which this element belongs is not valid.
|
mirror:EventDispatcher
[read-only]
Language version: | ActionScript 3.0
|
The EventDispatcher
object to which events affecting the mirror region are mirrored.
This includes mouse events that specifically occur in the mirror region, and all other events
that target the text line.
Implementation
public function get mirror():EventDispatcher
nextRegion:TextLineMirrorRegion
[read-only]
Language version: | ActionScript 3.0
|
The next TextLineMirrorRegion in the set derived from the text element, or null
if the current region is the last mirror region
in the set. May be on the same line or on another text line.
Implementation
public function get nextRegion():TextLineMirrorRegion
previousRegion:TextLineMirrorRegion
[read-only]
Language version: | ActionScript 3.0
|
The previous TextLineMirrorRegion in the set derived from the text element, or null
if the current region is the first mirror
region in the set. May be on the same line or on another text line.
Implementation
public function get previousRegion():TextLineMirrorRegion
textLine:TextLine
[read-only]
Language version: | ActionScript 3.0
|
The TextLine containing this mirror region.
Implementation
public function get textLine():TextLine
This example displays a block of text with mirror regions that turn red when you click
them.
