The funny thing is this printing a block of multipage text seems like such a basic thing but there are no examples in the docs and it seems as thought this issue was never considered as a basic thing people would need to do. Regards, Hank On 8/18/06, Peter O'Brien <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

What are flash mc dimensions to match an A4 page? Doesn't it vary according to screen resolution? How can you efficiently fill a textfield to the point in which you know it is completely full?
