Scene Element: TextEdit

About

A standard Android box for text entry.

TextEdit elements cannot appear in Overlay scenes.

Parameter: Text

This is the initial text to show in the element, with any variables replaced.

Note that if Text contains a variable, any changes in the variable value once the element have been shown will not be reflected in the visible contents of the text box. The reason for this limitation is that the user can change the text box contents by typing at any time so it is not possible to track where the variable contents should be, or even if they are still there at all.

Parameter: Position

Where to place the text within its box

Parameter: Text Width Scale

Horizontal scaling factor to squash up (negative values) or stretch (positive values) the text.
