A few things:
You'll need to override measure(), like so:
protected override function measure() : void {
measuredWidth = _txt.measuredWidth;
measuredHeight = _txt.measuredHeight;
}
and updateDisplayList(), like so:
protected override function updateDisplayList(w:Number, h:Number) : void {
_txt.move(0,0);
_txt.setActualSize(Math.min(_txt.measuredWidth, w),
Math.min(_txt.measuredHeight, h));
}
That should do it. But this is typed in gmail, not Flex so it's probably got
typos in it :)
