Hello, I have a simple component, it is a multiline TextField with wordWrap switched on and with a yellow rectangle drawn underneath:
http://preferans.de/flash/ - the files Bubble.* I'd like the users of my component to be able to resize its width in the authoring environment, so that they can control where the word wrapping will happen. However I can't figure out how to find out that width. I tried printing it in init(), createChildren() and even draw() - but it always shows the orig. values I've set for the bounding box: private function createChildren():Void { trace('width=' + this._width + ', ' + this._xscale); // create a yellow rectangle with a shadow underneath rect_mc = this.createEmptyMovieClip('rect_mc', depth++); rect_mc.filters = [ new DropShadowFilter(0, 90, 0x000000, 0.30, 10, 10, 1, 1, false, false, false) ]; // create a multiline text field above the rectangle field_txt = this.createTextField('field_txt', depth++, __padding / 2, __padding / 2, 120, 20); //field_txt.border = true; field_txt.multiline = true; field_txt.autoSize = true; field_txt.wordWrap = true; field_txt.text = __text; size(); } This prints: width=160, 100 ( <-- the scale is 100% even for resized Bubble ??) Any suggestions are very welcome Alex _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
