my_mc.getTextSnapshot(): TextSnapshot
None.
A TextSnapshot object that contains the static text from my_mc.
Method; returns a TextSnapshot object that contains the text in all the static text fields in the specified movie clip; text in child movie clips is not included. This method always returns a TextSnapshot object.
Flash concatenates text and places it in the TextSnapshot object in an order that reflects the tab index order of the static text fields in the movie clip. Text fields that don't have tab index values are placed in a random order in the object, and precede any text from fields that do have tab index values. No line breaks or formatting indicates where one field ends and the next begins.
Note: You can't specify a tab index value for static text in Flash. However, other products may do so (for example, Macromedia FlashPaper).
The contents of the TextSnapshot object aren't dynamic; that is, if the movie clip moves to a different frame, or is altered in some way (for example, objects in the movie clip are added or removed), the TextSnapshot object might not represent the current text in the movie clip. To ensure that the object's contents are current, reissue this command as needed.
You can extend the methods and event handlers of the MovieClip class by creating a subclass. For more information, see "Assigning a class to a movie clip symbol" in Using ActionScript in Flash.
The following code dynamically creates a TextSnapshot object called textShapshot_txt inside a movie clip called text_mc.
this.createEmptyMovieClip("text_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
text_mc.createTextField("textSnapshot_txt", text_mc.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 10, 240, 160);
text_mc.textSnapshot_txt.multiline = true;
text_mc.textSnapshot_txt.wordWrap = true;
text_mc.textSnapshot_txt.autoSize = true;
text_mc.textSnapshot_txt.border = true;
text_mc.textSnapshot_txt.html = true;
//
var textSnap:TextSnapshot = text_mc.getTextSnapshot();
text_mc.textSnapshot_txt.htmlText = "<textformat tabstops='[150]'>";
for (var i in textSnap) {
text_mc.textSnapshot_txt.htmlText += "<b>"+i+"</b>\t"+textSnap[i];
}
text_mc.textSnapshot_txt.htmlText += "</textformat>";
The following text appears in text_mc.textSnapshot_txt:
getTextRunInfo [type Function] setSelectColor [type Function] findText [type Function] hitTestTextNearPos [type Function] getSelectedText [type Function] getText [type Function] getSelected [type Function] setSelected [type Function] getCount [type Function]
