<?xml version="1.0"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"> <mx:List wordWrap="true" variableRowHeight="true"> <mx:Object label="DataTips are similar to ToolTips, but display text when the mouse pointer hovers over a row in a List control. Text in a List control that is longer than the control width is clipped on the right side (or requires scrolling, if the control has scroll bars). DataTips can solve that problem by displaying all of the text, including the clipped text, when the mouse pointer hovers over a cell. If you enable data tips, they only appear for fields where the data is clipped. To display DataTips, set the showDataTips property of a List control to true." data="One"/> <mx:Object label="The default behavior of the showDataTips property is to display the label text. However, you can use the dataTipField and dataTipFunction properties to determine what is displayed in the DataTip. The dataTipField property behaves like the labelField property; it specifies the name of the field in the data provider to use as the DataTip for cells in the column. The dataTipFunction property behaves like the labelFunction property; it specifies the DataTip string to display for list items." data="Two"/> <mx:Object label="You use ScrollTips to give users context about where they are in a list as they scroll through the list. The tips appear only when you scroll; they don't appear if you only hover the mouse over the scroll bar. ScrollTips are useful when live scrolling is disabled (the liveScrolling property is false) so scrolling does not occur until you release the scroll thumb. The default value of the showScrollTips property is false." data="Three"/> </mx:List> <mx:TextArea id="forChange" width="150"/> </mx:Application> On Fri, May 7, 2010 at 17:05, Kentor <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > When I add text into a list, and the text is too long, flex just cuts > the text off and puts ... at the end of the line, how can I get it to > break to the next line and continue showing more text and only cut off > at the end of the second line?
