Using the Flash Text Engine
var format:ElementFormat = new ElementFormat();
format.fontSize = 20;
var graphicElement:GraphicElement = new GraphicElement(triangle, triangle.width,
triangle.height, format);
var textBlock:TextBlock = new TextBlock();
textBlock.content = graphicElement;
var textLine1:TextLine = textBlock.createTextLine(null, triangle.width);
textLine1.x = 50;
textLine1.y = 110;
addChild(textLine1);
}
}
}
var textElement:TextElement = new TextElement(str, format);
textBlock.content = textElement;
var textLine2 = textBlock.createTextLine(null, 300);
addChild(textLine2);
textLine2.x = textLine1.x - 30;
textLine2.y = textLine1.y + 15;
You can create a GroupElement object to create a group of TextElement, GraphicElement, and other GroupElement
objects. A GroupElement can be assigned to the content property of a TextBlock object. The parameter to the
GroupElement() constructor is a Vector, which points to the text, graphic, and group elements that make up the
group. The following example groups two graphic elements and a text element and assigns them as a unit to a text
block.
package
{
import flash.text.engine.*;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.Shape;
import flash.display.Graphics;
public class GroupElementExample extends Sprite
{
public function GroupElementExample()
{
var str:String = "Beware of Alligators!";
var triangle1:Shape = new Shape();
triangle1.graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000, 1);
triangle1.graphics.lineStyle(3);
triangle1.graphics.moveTo(30, 0);
triangle1.graphics.lineTo(60, 50);
triangle1.graphics.lineTo(0, 50);
triangle1.graphics.lineTo(30, 0);
triangle1.graphics.endFill();
var triangle2:Shape = new Shape();
triangle2.graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000, 1);
triangle2.graphics.lineStyle(3);
triangle2.graphics.moveTo(30, 0);
triangle2.graphics.lineTo(60, 50);
triangle2.graphics.lineTo(0, 50);
