CompositionAttributeRange

Package	flash.text.ime
Class	public final class CompositionAttributeRange
Inheritance	CompositionAttributeRange Object

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 10.1, AIR 2

The CompositionAttributeRange class represents a range of composition attributes for use with IME (input method editor) events. For example, when editing text in the IME, the text is divided by the IME into composition ranges. These composition ranges are flagged as selected (such as currently being lengthened, shortened, or edited), and/or converted (meaning the range went through the IME dictionary lookup, already).

By convention, the client should adorn these composition ranges with underlining or highlighting according to the flags.

For example:

     !converted              = thick gray underline (raw text)
     !selected && converted  = thin black underline
      selected && converted  = thick black underline
