Thanks Sebastian. I'll try this. The only concern I have is that the font populating the TextField isn't fixed width, so I can't really be sure what that cutoff point is, unless it could be suggested otherwise. I mean, if the font was fixed width, I would know that a specific amount of

Hi Michael, Take a look at the TextFormat method getTextExtent(). It's useful for working out how much space text takes up, and copes with non-fixed-width. Beware, though, that if you are using embedded antialiased fonts the getTextExtent() calculations are very slightly off (as the calculations

Wouldn't this be a whole lot easier if you used objects? I am coming to the conclusion - not a great theoretical concept or exhaustive examination of 6+ years of flashcoders posts - that most forum questions that mention arrays of arrays would be a lot easier to solve if the questioner had an

Read books will help to understand the concept, let's try an example: Let's say you built a flash library and one of your class (ex: Main class) needs another proper class to be instantiated (like a Config class). Main class constructor: Public function Main(config:IConfig):void { } IConfig

Hi Ron, thanks for your input, my arrays are indeed arrays of objects, but this is not the problem, nor the solution. The solution is actually far more complex than I had originally thought, and I am still working it out!! I'll post it when I am done working out the math, as there is more
