	 * 	This class represents StaticText objects on the display list. You cannot
	 * 	create a StaticText object using Haxe code. Only the authoring tool can
	 * 	create a StaticText object. An attempt to create a new StaticText object
	 * 	generates an `ArgumentError`.
	 * 	To create a reference to an existing static text field in Haxe code,
	 * 	you can iterate over the items in the display list. For example, the
	 * 	following snippet checks to see if the display list contains a static text
	 * 	field and assigns the field to a variable:
	 * 
	 * 	```haxe
	 * 	for (i in 0...numChildren) {
	 * 		var displayitem = getChildAt(i);
	 * 		if ((displayitem is StaticText)) {
	 * 			trace("a static text field is item " + i + " on the display list");
	 * 			var myFieldLabel:StaticText = cast displayitem;
	 * 			trace("and contains the text: " + myFieldLabel.text);
	 * 		}
	 * 	}
	 * 	```
	 * 
	 * 	@see [Working with static text](https://books.openfl.org/openfl-developers-guide/using-the-textfield-class/working-with-static-text.html)
