class flash.text.TextLineMetrics

Available on all platforms

The TextLineMetrics class contains information about the text position and * measurements of a line of text within a text field. All measurements are in * pixels. Objects of this class are returned by the * flash.text.TextField.getLineMetrics() method.

Instance Fields

var ascent:Float

The ascent value of the text is the length from the baseline to the top of * the line height in pixels.

var descent:Float

The descent value of the text is the length from the baseline to the * bottom depth of the line in pixels.

var height:Float

The height value of the text of the selected lines (not necessarily the * complete text) in pixels. The height of the text line does not include the * gutter height.

var leading:Float

The leading value is the measurement of the vertical distance between the * lines of text.

var width:Float

The width value is the width of the text of the selected lines (not * necessarily the complete text) in pixels. The width of the text line is * not the same as the width of the text field. The width of the text line is * relative to the text field width, minus the gutter width of 4 pixels * (2 pixels on each side).

var x:Float

The x value is the left position of the first character in pixels. This * value includes the margin, indent (if any), and gutter widths.
