anoyher fix might be overlaying the displaying field, you don't want to have overflowed "your max lines" with an input field that has _alpha 100, and has an embed font. Use the later as input, ans if maxscroll < 2 after onKeyup, feed it to the underlaying visible textfield. Otherwise ,restore its content with the previous buffered text and don't feed it to the visible field.
Dirty but worling I guess.

Hi
I have input text fields in some 'speech bubbles' for an application I am 
building

I can set the maximum number of characters, but what I really need is to be 
able to set the maximum number of lines so that hitting return NEVER causes 
text to disappear.

So far , not the best solution has been found.

Can anyone help?
