About text fields
You can create three types of text fields: static, dynamic, and input. All text fields support Unicode.
•
Static text fields display text that doesn’t change characters dynamically.
•
Dynamic text fields display dynamically updating text, such as stock quotes or weather reports.
•
Input text fields allow users to enter text in forms or surveys.
You can create horizontal text (with a left-to-right flow) or static vertical text (with either a right-to-left or left-to-
right flow).
When creating static text, you can place text on a single line that expands as you type, or in a fixed-width field (for
horizontal text) or fixed-height field (for vertical text) that expands and wraps words automatically. When creating
dynamic or input text, you can place text on a single line, or create a text field with a fixed width and height.
Flash displays a handle on the corner of a text field to identify the type of text field:
•
For static horizontal text that extends, a round handle appears at the upper-right corner of the text field.
•
For static horizontal text that has a fixed width, a square handle appears at the upper-right corner of the text field.
•
For static vertical text that has right-to-left flow and extends, a round handle appears at the lower-left corner of
the text field.
•
For static vertical text that has right-to-left flow and a fixed height, a square handle appears at the lower-left corner
of the text field.
