I'm not sure if this will actualy be related to the problem you have, but I've had issues with textfields heights lately and this is what I've figured out:
- Use the TextField.textHeight property http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/action_scripts/actionscript_dictionary/actionscript_dictionary774.html - There seems to be a bug with this property that I can't always reproduce. The first time you try to access it, it will give you the height for one line only (as if it can't see the wrap yet), but after more than one reference, you will get the proper value from it. Here's a quick proto wrapper for this. Let me know if it actually helped: TextField.prototype.getTextHeight = function() { var t = this.textHeight; return this.textHeight; }; ASSetPropFlags(TextField.prototype, "getTextHeight", 1, 0); Good luck! - Francis On 8/11/06, Matthias Dittgen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
this happens to me only sometimes and when I use negative leadings. Try to encapsulate your textfield with a movieclip and grab the height of the movieclip instead of the textfield height. That's the common workaround, I think. Have fun, Matthias 2006/8/11, Kjel Anderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > No IDE for Linux yet :( Can't find any coding errors.
