I am dealing with a rather annoying dilemma. Often I'll set text or htmlText of a textArea dynamically. I will also turn off scrolling.
Often as the case may be, the set text is longer than the displayable area. I'd like to be able to get the "displayed text length" (ie: last character position displayed). This is extremely hard to calculate due to the large variety of factors (ie: font size, word spacing, word wrap, etc). This must exist internally because Flash already recognizes whether a word extends beyond the bounds of the textArea and instead of simply cutting it off at the edge; it removes the entire word from display. Anyone aware of any way to get the last displayed character?
