Hi, I've got an as2 implementation maybe you can convert it (and clean it:)):
//nametextfield contains actual text. Check what is smaller the actual width of the textfield or a combo of the available width + margin+dotwidth //50 == margin, 20== correction, +5 == no clue old code;)) //so the actual width is the minimum of the textWidth and the given width this.nameTextField._width = Math.min (this.width-50-this.dotTextField._width, this.nameTextField.textWidth+20)+5; //position dots behind main textfield this.dotTextField._x = this.nameTextField._x+this.nameTextField._width-2; //determine visibility on whether text in nametextfield fits or not this.dotTextField._visible = (this.nameTextField.textWidth > this.nameTextField._width); greetz JC On Mon, Nov 17, 2008 at 10:26 AM, Latcho <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > How to break a line of text on the optimal charachter and adding "..." if it > doesn't fit a single lined textfield > | I would like to break | this line of text. > | I would like to br... | > > Any suggestions (AS3) > > Latcho > _______________________________________________ > Flashcoders mailing list > [email protected] > http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders > _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
