ime_txt.border = true;
ime_txt.multiline = true;
ime_txt.setNewTextFormat(my_fmt);
ime_txt.type = "input";
ime_txt.wordWrap = true;
enable_btn.onRelease = function() {
System.IME.setEnabled(true);
};
disable_btn.onRelease = function() {
System.IME.setEnabled(false);
};
function checkIME():Boolean {
if (System.capabilities.hasIME) {
if (System.IME.getEnabled()) {
