Word wrapped text has no natural size. It can be any shape pretty much unless you define one dimension, then we can calculate the other.
It is best to update the width of the Text at layout time instead of using %. ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of ninobronzed Sent: Tuesday, October 30, 2007 9:50 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Text word wrapping I have a mx.controls.Text instance. It is a child of a VBox. I give it a percentWidth = 100, and the text is truncated (cut off, actually. no ellipsis) and doesn't wrap. It only happens when the text is a specific length. So, most of the time it works correctly, only when the text is close to the width of the parent container, the last word is not visible. For example: "My text for my textfield" would appear: "My text for my " The extra line is there for the wordwrap, but the word is gone. I have also tinkered with maxWidth and width instead of percentWidth to no avail. Please please help. I'm not posting code, because I am hoping someone has just seen this before...thank you.
