Property Detail
baselinePositionproperty
baselinePosition:Number  [read-only]

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 3
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

The y-coordinate of the baseline of the first line of text of the component.

This property is used to implement the baseline constraint style. It is also used to align the label of a FormItem with the controls in the FormItem.


Implementation
    public function get baselinePosition():Number
documentproperty 
document:Object

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 3
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

A reference to the document object associated with this component. A document object is an Object at the top of the hierarchy of a Flex application, MXML component, or ActionScript component.


Implementation
    public function get document():Object
    public function set document(value:Object):void
enabledproperty 
enabled:Boolean

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 3
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Whether the component can accept user interaction. After setting the enabled property to false, some components still respond to mouse interactions such as mouseOver. As a result, to fully disable UIComponents, you should also set the value of the mouseEnabled property to false. If you set the enabled property to false for a container, Flex dims the color of the container and of all of its children, and blocks user input to the container and to all of its children.


Implementation
    public function get enabled():Boolean
    public function set enabled(value:Boolean):void
explicitHeightproperty 
explicitHeight:Number

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0

The explicitly specified height for the component, in pixels, as the component's coordinates. If no height is explicitly specified, the value is NaN.


Implementation
    public function get explicitHeight():Number
    public function set explicitHeight(value:Number):void
