I've noticed that some TextField properties do not update themselves until the function that updated them finishes executing. In other words, don't do:
function(){ TextField.text = "foo"; trace(TextField._height); } I have sometimes used SetInterval to wait a tick before testing a property on a TextField. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 11, 2006 3:52 AM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: [Flashcoders] Text Height in MovieClip help! I have a movieclip (scrollContent) that has a dynamic textfield in it that I add text too. If i trace(scrollContent._height) it comes up as 190, which is the same as it shows in the authoring environment. Why does the movieclip height not adjust based on the text height? Thanks!
