HI Michael,
A quick check of the class in the help file:
TextField Class
Shows me that no such method or property exists, even though I suppose
it might be a useful one - however in all my years of using flash I've
never found this to be an obstacle you can't circumvent.
The way I would go about this, is to do the truncation based on the
length you *know* it can display, instead of letting the GUI handle that
logic for you.
Please note you have full control over the width and height of a text
field via the code, and you can split the text easily if its over a
certain length and assign it to any other text field you wish dynamically.
textField.width = someNumber;
trextField.height = someOtherNumber;
if (textField.length > someCutOffPoint)
{
//do something different cause its too long
}
are your friends.
:)
Seb.

Hi list...
Is it possible somehow to get a substring of all the visible text in a
textArea?
If I know there are 35 lines in the TextArea, and it's only 30 lines
tall, how can I have lines 31-35 show up at the very top?
(AS2)
Thanks!
