Flash has a 2 pixel gutter all around the text. Is that throwing off your calculations?

This is code that i'm using: public function get textLineHeight():uint { var textLineMetrics:TextLineMetrics = this.getLineMetrics(0); _textLineHeight = textLineMetrics.height + textLineMetrics.leading; return _textLineHeight; } And the result is strange...if i have only one line, i need to add 3 pixels, if i have two lines, it's ok. But if i have more than 2 lines the height returned is bigger than it should be... what am i doing wrong? how should i get a REAL line height? Thanks, Carlos PS: you can see it happening here: http://carvalhar.com/#/blog/45/incorporando-fontes-no-flex/
