Property Detail

absoluteEnd

property
absoluteEnd:int

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

The absolute end point of the range of text to which this operation is applied.



Implementation
    public function get absoluteEnd():int
    public function set absoluteEnd(value:int):void

absoluteStart

property 
absoluteStart:int

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

The absolute start point of the range of text to which this operation is applied.



Implementation
    public function get absoluteStart():int
    public function set absoluteStart(value:int):void

originalSelectionState

property 
originalSelectionState:SelectionState

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

The selection state at the start of the operation.



Implementation
    public function get originalSelectionState():SelectionState
    public function set originalSelectionState(value:SelectionState):void
Constructor Detail

FlowTextOperation

()Constructor
public function FlowTextOperation(operationState:SelectionState)

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Creates the FlowTextOperation object.

Parameters
operationState:SelectionState — Specifies the relevant selection. If relevant to the operation, the operationState describes the text range to which this operation applies. Otherwise, operationState is used to save the current selection state so that it can be restored when the operation is undone.
Method Detail

redo

()method
override public function redo():SelectionState

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Re-executes the operation.

This method must be overridden in derived classes. The base class method does nothing. You should not call redo() directly. The edit manager calls the method when it re-executes the operation.

Returns
SelectionState — The SelectionState object passed to the operation when it was performed. This SelectionState object can be the current selection or a selection created specifically for the operation.
