Example
This example creates a new listener object called stageListener. It then uses
stageListener to call onResize and define a function that will be called when onResize is
triggered. Finally, the code adds the stageListener object to the callback list of the Stage
object. Listener objects allow multiple objects to listen for resize notifications.
this.createTextField("stageSize_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 10,
100, 22);
var stageListener:Object = new Object();
stageListener.onResize = function() {
stageSize_txt.text = "w:"+Stage.width+", h:"+Stage.height;
};
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.addListener(stageListener);

public class String
extends Object
The String class is a wrapper for the string primitive data type, and provides methods and
properties that let you manipulate primitive string value types. You can convert the value of
any object into a string using the String() function.
All the methods of the String class, except for concat(), fromCharCode(), slice(), and
substr(), are generic, which means the methods call toString() before performing their
operations, and you can use these methods with other non-String objects.
Because all string indexes are zero-based, the index of the last character for any string x is
x.length - 1.
You can call any of the methods of the String class using the constructor method new String
or using a string literal value. If you specify a string literal, the ActionScript interpreter
automatically converts it to a temporary String object, calls the method, and then discards the
temporary String object. You can also use the String.length property with a string literal.
