My first attempt was doing it with the scrollrect property. (wich ended up unfortunatly in seeing pixel-lines (of lines of text) sometime when using it to show different pages)

The problem isn't figuring out 'if' I need new pages (or how much), but it is where the last word/character/whatever of the big text is, to continue on a new page.

You can use the scrollV and maxScrollV properties to determine if you have
text outside of the field.

if(myTextField.scrollV != myTextField.maxScrollV){
  //scrollbars or pagination needed
}

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?
