Hi!

I wonder if there is a way to count characters visible in a textfield? I have a text where not all characters are embeded in the textfield and I want to check how many that are.. So it would be great if there was I way to check the length of the text in the textfield and not the original string.

I use this code, but it returns the same number of characters even though the textfield displays less characters.
latin1 = "ÀÁÂÃÄÅ..";
trace("latin1 " + latin1.length);
txt_tf.text = latin1;
trace("txt_tf.text " + txt_tf.text.length);

Thanks in advance!

Ellen
