Not sure why you're not using Text instead of TextArea.
If you don't copy the sizing algorithm of the TextArea's internal textfield, then your measurments won't be correct. I don't think -10 is going to be right and I don't understand 3.9 either. The code is much simpler than that. It uses viewMetrics. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Guillermo Villasana Sent: Wednesday, September 19, 2007 10:45 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Problem with sizing Hi everyone, well I am still having problems with resizing a Text Area. At the moment I am using this code: package mylib { import mx.controls.TextArea; import flash.text.TextField; import mx.controls.Alert; public class AdvancedTextArea extends TextArea { public function AdvancedTextArea() { super(); this.editable=false; this.selectable=false; this.verticalScrollPolicy="off"; this.horizontalScrollPolicy="off"; } override protected function measure():void { super.measure(); var myTF:TextField=new TextField(); var altoxLineas:Number=new Number(); myTF.wordWrap=true; myTF.text=text; myTF.width=explicitWidth-10; altoxLineas=myTF.numLines*3.9+altoxLineas/3.9; measuredHeight = measuredMinHeight = myTF.textHeight + 10; if (altoxLineas>myTF.textHeight) measuredHeight = measuredMinHeight = altoxLineas + 10; } } } Although it does grows my Textarea, in some cases it doesn't grow it enough... Any pointers would be appreciated.
