setting textField according the textHeight

mercl Mar 1, 2007 6:27 AM

Hi,
does anyone know if you can set the height of a textfield AFTER you created it using
Mclip.createTextField("body",1 ,0 ,0 ,400, someHeight);

right now i can only get the textHeight after i've created the textfield and set the format using
setTextFormat();
(wich is logeical becase only according to the font Type and size can one mesure the height of the text applied to the textField

in other words i want to create a textfield that has a fixed width, but is as big as the number of lines coming from a textfile (blob)

hope it make sence
thanx, i.a.

this.txtField.multiline = true;
this.txtField.wordWrap = true;
this.txtField.autoSize = true;

Set theese properties to the textfield and it should resize automatically when you type/insert text in it.

Ok,

but how does that work when you need to set a height when you create textfiled
like :
this.createTextField("body", 1 ,0 ,0 ,Aheight,Awidth);

if i leave the Aheight,Awidth params out
it won't create a text field at all...
and i cant apply a autoSize BEFORE creating a text field... a bit of a catch 22....
