Hello FlashCoders.
The seemingly simple task of splitting a Textfield into it's (soft)

them.
Thanks,
Dan

Hi,
it might be simplest (if the text is one size only) to dump the whole
textfield into a bitmap and take it from there.

Dan,
It's a bit repetitive, but you can work it out with
TextFormat.getTextExtent(). Just keep adding characters until the rect's
height changes. (It's also - at least in Flash 8 - slightly incorrect when
using antialiased fonts).

update without a redraw?).
At least then it wouldn't be a deprecated command.
And I'm thinking cutting down processing by using making an

Thanks very much! Haven't looked through yet, but that looks like
it's going to save me an afternoon :-)

Hi Dan,
getTextExtent() isn't actually deprecated - it's an (acknowledged) bug in
the documentation.
