This is totally driving me crazy.
I'm creating a textfield as a sub to another clip, setting it's width,
making it autosized, giving it a stylesheet. I then toss in it's
htmlText.
I just want to know if the darn thing is one or more lines. Trouble is
it's not reporting back properly...it seems as if it's just in the
middle of adjusting itself or something, as if I trace out a lot of
stuff, it works out fine. But I shut off tracing, and it stops
working.
For example:
var mTitle:TextField = mcTxt.createTextField("mc_title", 6, tR.x+20,
tR.y-14, 230, 0);
mTitle.autoSize = "right";
mTitle.wordWrap=true;
mTitle.selectable=false;
mTitle.html = true;
mTitle.border=true;
mTitle.multiline = true;
mTitle.styleSheet =_global.gPrefs.CSS;
mTitle.htmlText = title;
fontsize = 30; // i know this
lCnt = (mTitle.textHeight/fontSize);
Sometimes lCnt works and sometimes it doesn't -- and I'm tracing out
all elements.
I've even tried to do something like
while(mTitle.htmlText!=title){
trace("not there");
}
But that doesn't work either.
