Hi Alistair, Try adding this to your code: tmpField.wordWrap = true;

AS2 Hi there, thanks for checking this. I'm generating a textfield from within a custom class but I can't seem to make it multiline, I can see the border of the textfield is the right size my text only appears on the first line and also my carriage returns "\r" are having no effect. I've tried a number of options for properties of the textfield but I cant seem to get it to work. Any suggestions thankfully received this is taking lots of time for a simple thing! Cheers, Ali Here's the code from within my class: var oline:MovieClip = mainMC.monkey.bubble.outline var tmpBox:MovieClip = mainMC.monkey.bubble.createEmptyMovieClip ("text_mc", 1); var tmpField:TextField = tmpBox.createTextField("my_txt", 1, oline._x, oline._y, oline._width, oline._height); tmpField.selectable = false; tmpField.border = true; tmpField.embedFonts = true; tmpField.type = "dynamic"; tmpField.multiline = true; tmpField.text = Q.monkeyStr; tmpField.setTextFormat(myM); _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
