[flexcoders] truncateToFit() and concatenated Strings

[Matthew]

Hi - 

I have a Label with truncateToFit set to true and a maxWidth. However, the 
htmlText I assign is concatenated a la:

ipText = '<b>' +endPointData.ipLabel+ '</b>: ' + endPointData.ipValue;

I've researched online and found that truncateToFit() has problems dealing with 
concatenated Strings; my text does not get truncated. 

Has anyone found a solution? 

Thank you for any tips.
