Event summary for the TextArea class Event TextArea.change Description Notifies listeners that text has changed. TextInput component The TextInput is a single-line component that wraps the native ActionScript TextField object. Use styles to customize the TextInput component. When an instance is disabled, its contents appear in a color represented by the "disabledColor" style. A TextInput component can also be formatted with HTML, or as a password field that disguises the text. Use a TextInput component wherever you need a single-line text field. If you need a multiline text field, use the TextArea component. For example, you could use a TextInput component as a password field in a form. You could set up a listener that checks if field has enough characters when a user tabs out of the field. That listener could display an error message indicating that the proper number of characters must be entered. TextInput component parameters You can set the following authoring parameters for each TextInput component instance in the Property inspector or in the Component Inspector panel: text specified the contents of the TextInput. You can't enter carriage returns in the Property inspector or Component Inspector panel. The default value is "" (empty string).
