Returns

| `int`

getLineText | () | method |

`public function getLineText(lineIndex:int):String`

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 3

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Parameters

| `lineIndex:int`

Returns

| `String`

getParagraphLength | () | method |

`public function getParagraphLength(charIndex:int):int`

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 3

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Parameters

| `charIndex:int`

Returns

| `int`

getStyle | () | method |

`public function getStyle(styleProp:String):*`

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 3

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Gets a style property that has been set anywhere in this component's style lookup chain.

This same method is used to get any kind of style property, so the value returned can be a Boolean, String, Number, int, uint (for an RGB color), Class (for a skin), or any kind of object. Therefore the return type is simply specified as *.

If you are getting a particular style property, you know its type and often want to store the result in a variable of that type. No casting from * to that type is necessary.

`var backgroundColor:uint = getStyle("backgroundColor");`

If the style property has not been set anywhere in the style lookup chain, the value returned by `getStyle()` is `undefined`. Note that `undefined` is a special value that is not the same as `false`, `""`, `NaN`, `0`, or `null`. No valid style value is ever `undefined`. You can use the method `IStyleManager2.isValidStyleValue()` to test whether the value was set.

Parameters

| `styleProp:String` — Name of the style property.

Returns

| `*` — Style value.

getTextFormat | () | method |

`public function getTextFormat(beginIndex:int = -1, endIndex:int = -1):TextFormat`

getUITextFormat | () | method |

`public function getUITextFormat():UITextFormat`

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 3

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Returns a UITextFormat object that contains formatting information for this component. This method is similar to the `getTextFormat()` method of the flash.text.TextField class, but it returns a UITextFormat object instead of a TextFormat object.

The UITextFormat class extends the TextFormat class to add the text measurement methods `measureText()` and `measureHTMLText()`.

Returns
