The UITextField class defines the component used by many Flex
components to display text.
For example, the mx.controls.Button control uses a
UITextField component to define the label area of the Button control.
<p>The UITextField class extends the flash.text.TextField class to
support additional functionality required by Flex, such as CSS styles,
invalidation/measurement/layout, enabling/disabling, tooltips, and IME
(Input Method Editor) support for entering Chinese, Japanese, and
Korean text.</p>
<p>Warning: if UITextField inherits <code>layoutDirection="rtl"</code>, it
will modify its own <code>transform.matrix</code> to restore the default
coordinate system locally.</p>

Gets a style property that has been set anywhere in this
component's style lookup chain.
<p>This same method is used to get any kind of style property,
so the value returned can be a Boolean, String, Number, int,
uint (for an RGB color), Class (for a skin), or any kind of object.
Therefore the return type is simply specified as *.</p>
<p>If you are getting a particular style property, you
know its type and often want to store the result in a
variable of that type.
No casting from * to that type is necessary.</p>
<p>
<code>
var backgroundColor:uint = getStyle("backgroundColor");
</code>
</p>
<p>If the style property has not been set anywhere in the
style lookup chain, the value returned by <code>getStyle()</code>
is <code>undefined</code>.
Note that <code>undefined</code> is a special value that is
not the same as <code>false</code>, <code>""</code>,
<code>NaN</code>, <code>0</code>, or <code>null</code>.
No valid style value is ever <code>undefined</code>.
You can use the method
<code>IStyleManager2.isValidStyleValue()</code>
to test whether the value was set.</p>

Marks a component so that its <code>updateDisplayList()</code>

<p>Invalidation is a useful mechanism for eliminating duplicate
work by delaying processing of changes to a component until a
later screen update.
For example, if you want to change the width and height,
it would be wasteful to update the component immediately after you
change the width and then update again with the new height.
It is more efficient to change both properties and then render
the component with its new size once.</p>

Moves the component to a specified position within its parent.
Calling this method is exactly the same as
setting the component's <code>x</code> and <code>y</code> properties.
<p>If you are overriding the <code>updateDisplayList()</code> method
in a custom component, call the <code>move()</code> method
rather than setting the <code>x</code> and <code>y</code> properties.
The difference is that the <code>move()</code> method changes the location
of the component and then dispatches a <code>move</code> event when you
call the method, while setting the <code>x</code> and <code>y</code>
properties changes the location of the component and dispatches
the event on the next screen refresh.</p>

Sizes the object.
Unlike directly setting the <code>width</code> and <code>height</code>
properties, calling the <code>setActualSize()</code> method
does not set the <code>explictWidth</code> and
<code>explicitHeight</code> properties, so a future layout
calculation can result in the object returning to its previous size.
This method is used primarily by component developers implementing
the <code>updateDisplayList()</code> method, by Effects,
and by the LayoutManager.

Detects changes to style properties. When any style property is set,
Flex calls the <code>styleChanged()</code> method,
passing to it the name of the style being set.
<p>This is an advanced method that you might override
when creating a subclass of UIComponent. When you create a custom component,
you can override the <code>styleChanged()</code> method
to check the style name passed to it, and handle the change accordingly.
This lets you override the default behavior of an existing style,
or add your own custom style properties.</p>
<p>If you handle the style property, your override of
the <code>styleChanged()</code> method should call the
<code>invalidateDisplayList()</code> method to cause Flex to execute
the component's <code>updateDisplayList()</code> method at the next screen update.</p>
</p><p><span class="label"> Parameters </span><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr><td width="20px"></td><td><code><span class="label">styleProp</span>:String</code> &mdash; The name of the style property, or null if all styles for this

Validate and update the properties and layout of this object
and redraw it, if necessary.
Processing properties that require substantial computation are normally
not processed until the script finishes executing.
For example setting the <code>width</code> property is delayed, because it can
require recalculating the widths of the objects children or its parent.
Delaying the processing prevents it from being repeated
multiple times if the script sets the <code>width</code> property more than once.
This method lets you manually override this behavior.
