[flexcoders] Padding/spacing before the first line in a TextArea

2008-12-02 Thread bjorn 
There is some padding before the first line in a TextArea. Have a look at
this image to see what I mean:

I need to remove this, and the first solution that comes to mind is to find
that value and position the TextArea.y = TextArea.y - [that value]. The
padding before the first line seems to be equal (in most cases) to the
font's descent, which I can get from getTextLineMetrics().descent.

However, this is not true in all cases. In some cases, the padding is more.

Anyone have suggestions?

Are you talking about the white pixels top and right of the selection 
rectangle?  I think that's always 2 pixels.  You might be able to alter the 
position of the TextArea's internal TextField to get rid of that.
