TextField.autoSize

Availability

Flash Player 6.

Usage

my_txt.autoSize

Description

Property; controls automatic sizing and alignment of text fields. Acceptable values for autoSize are "none" (the default), "left", "right", and "center". When you set the autoSize property, true is a synonym for "left" and false is a synonym for "none".

The values of autoSize, multiline, and wordWrap determine whether a text field expands or contracts to the left side, right side, or bottom side. You can use the following code and enter different values for autoSize, multiline, and wordWrap to see how the field resizes when these values change.

createTextField("my_txt", 1, 0, 0, 200, 20);
with (my_txt) {
  border = true;
  borderColor = 0x000000;
  multiline = false;
  wordWrap = false;
  autoSize = "none";
  text = "Here is a whole bunch of text that won't fit in the field ";
}

Example

The following sets the autosize property of the text field my_txt to "center".

my_txt.autosize = "center";
