I had the same problem. TextArea has a protected property on the
textField named numLines that would suffice. To get at it you need to
create your own sub class of TextArea and create a getter for that
protected property. Something like the following should do it...
package
{
import mx.controls.TextArea;
public class NumLinesTextArea extends TextArea
{
public function NumLinesTextArea()
{
super();
}
public function get textFieldNumLines():int
{
if(textField != null)
{
return textField.numLines
}
return 1;
}
}
}
