textfield ?
somewhat misleading.
#text OR #field ?

in case of #text you can use the charPosToLoc() function and search 
for the first char, which is not within the bounds of your target 
rect. Since director (unfortunately) wraps only whole words (I don't 
remember the english word for 'silbentrennung' at the moment), you 
will only need to check the first char of every word. if performance 
is critical you should search async (?), beginning from the middle of 
the text and divide the text depending on the result of 
charPosToLoc().inside(targetrect)
