Ack, I've just this minute come up on the same thing. This is annoying as hell, I've used maxwidth all over the place without noticing it wasn't working until now. What I want is to have my text centered if it's narrow, and left justified (+ wrapped of course) if it exceeds maxWidth.
I need this, so I've created a bug: https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-19111 I should have it fixed in a short while, and you can monkey-patch my changes or extend Text to do it, email me off-list if you want me to send you the fix so you can monkey-patch it in. -Josh On Thu, Feb 5, 2009 at 12:53 PM, Sam Lai <samuel....@gmail.com> wrote: > Don't have a solution, but you could wrap the Text control in a > container, and set the maxWidth on the container instead. > > 2009/2/5 tchredeemed <apth...@liberty.edu <apthorp%40liberty.edu>>: > > > What I want it to do is to allow it to grow to the maxWidth, and wrap > > the text if it hits the max, right now it just cuts off the text after > > the maxWidth... > > > > halp! :) > > > > --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com>, > "tchredeemed" <apth...@...> wrote: > >> > >> Question: > >> > >> When I set the maxWidth on a text, it does not force to a new line > >> (like when you explicitly set the width).
