[flexcoders] Re: truncateToFit() and concatenated Strings

[Matthew]

Thanks for your responses. I did try that link (and that class) but it appears 
to replace the entire string with '...' instead of just the ending characters. 
And the conditional it uses to test if truncation is needed is testing for 
height values??? That I don't understand:

protected function get truncationRequired() : Boolean {
            return (textField.height< textField.maxHeight + 
UITextField.TEXT_HEIGHT_PADDING);
        }
