Flash® Player dispatches IMEEvent objects when a user enters text using an input method editor (IME). IMEs are generally used to enter text from languages that have ideographs instead of letters, such as Japanese, Chinese, and Korean. There is only one IME event: IMEEvent.IME_COMPOSITION.

Constructor Detail
IMEEvent()Constructor
public function IMEEvent(type:String, bubbles:Boolean = false, cancelable:Boolean = false, text:String = "")

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Player Version : Flash Player 9

Creates an Event object with specific information relevant to IME events. Event objects are passed as parameters to event listeners.

Parameters
type:String — The type of the event. Event listeners can access this information through the inherited type property. There is only one IME event: IMEEvent.IME_COMPOSITION.
 
bubbles:Boolean (default = false) — Determines whether the Event object participates in the bubbling stage of the event flow. Event listeners can access this information through the inherited bubbles property.
 
cancelable:Boolean (default = false) — Determines whether the Event object can be canceled. Event listeners can access this information through the inherited cancelable property.
 
text:String (default = "") — The reading string from the IME. This is the initial string as typed by the user, before selection of any candidates. The final composition string is delivered to the object with keyboard focus in a TextEvent.TEXT_INPUT event. Event listeners can access this information through the text property.
