Thanks so far.
I suppose I could do something similar to the TextExtent thing
filling up a textfield and checking it's textheight (does textheight
update without a redraw?).
At least then it wouldn't be a deprecated command.
And I'm thinking cutting down processing by using making an estimate
of line sizes based on character width, and hopefully start the check
somewhere close to a line break.
I'll post any useful outcomes.

It's a bit repetitive, but you can work it out with
TextFormat.getTextExtent(). Just keep adding characters until the

height changes. (It's also - at least in Flash 8 - slightly
incorrect when
using antialiased fonts).
