Hi,

Maybe look at the "Text Metrics" somehow for this and determine if the "height" of a string formatted to your text field settings will be taller than you need.

- you might want to be careful counting "words", because things like newline, etc have a bearing on your text height... Glen

Hi cool list,

Got myself a little optimazation challenge.

I'm getting HTML text from an XML file. The big text needs to be split into different pages, depending on the size of the text.
What's the best way to approach this?

I'm no counting words, en add words to a dynamic TextField (with css-style) en check with every word if it is still within the boundaries of the page. If it exceeds the height, then we will make another page and continue with adding the words. For really large texts this won't be the fastest way I guess.

Any thoughts on this subject?
