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().
