How about something like this?
obj = new Object()
obj.maxHeight = 100
obj.currText = txtField.text
obj.onKeyDown = function () {
this.currText = txtField.text
}
obj.onChanged = function() {
if (txtField.textHeight>100) {
txtField.text = this.currText
}
}
txtField.addListener(obj)
Key.addListener(obj)
