SWFTextField::__construct

Creates a text field object

Description

SWFTextField::__construct ([ int $flags ] )

Warning

This function is EXPERIMENTAL. The behaviour of this function, its name, and surrounding documentation may change without notice in a future release of PHP. This function should be used at your own risk.

swftextfield creates a new text field object. Text Fields are less flexible than swftext objects- they can't be rotated, scaled non-proportionally, or skewed, but they can be used as form entries, and they can use browser-defined fonts.

The optional flags change the text field's behavior. It has the following possibles values :

SWFTEXTFIELD_DRAWBOX draws the outline of the textfield
SWFTEXTFIELD_HASLENGTH
SWFTEXTFIELD_HTML allows text markup using HTML-tags
SWFTEXTFIELD_MULTILINE allows multiple lines
SWFTEXTFIELD_NOEDIT indicates that the field shouldn't be user-editable
SWFTEXTFIELD_NOSELECT makes the field non-selectable
SWFTEXTFIELD_PASSWORD obscures the data entry
SWFTEXTFIELD_WORDWRAP allows text to wrap

Flags are combined with the bitwise OR operation. For example,


<?php
$t = newSWFTextField(SWFTEXTFIELD_PASSWORD | SWFTEXTFIELD_NOEDIT); 
?>

creates a totally useless non-editable password field.

SWFTextField has the following methods : swftextfield::setfont, swftextfield::setbounds, swftextfield::align, swftextfield::setheight, swftextfield::setleftmargin, swftextfield::setrightmargin, swftextfield::setmargins, swftextfield::setindentation, swftextfield::setlinespacing, swftextfield::setcolor, swftextfield::setname and swftextfield::addstring.
