Re: [Flashcoders] Q:input textfield woes setting maximum lines
That's generally how I deal with text fields that have to be centered with localisable text. Attach a dummy textfield, enter the text, see how big it is then apply the positioning information to the real field and remove the dummy one. Adding/removing a field and getting the values out within 3 lines is quick enough that you don't see it drawing. It's a bit awkward, but it works!

Use the later as input, ans if maxscroll 2 after onKeyup, feed it to the underlaying visible textfield. Otherwise ,restore its content with the previous buffered text and don't feed it to the visible field. Dirty but worling I guess.

Re: [Flashcoders] Q:input textfield woes setting maximum lines
Not the nicest way, and not working with pasted text, a line WILL
disappear, but restured onkeyup...
never say NEVER ;)
var txtfield_mc = myTxtField_mc;
var bufferText:String;
var KP = {};
bufferText = txtfield_mc.text;
Key.addListener(KP);
KP.onKeyDown = function() {
txtfield_mc.scroll = 0;
if (txtfield_mc.maxscroll2) {
bufferText = txtfield_mc.text;
} else {
txtfield_mc.text = bufferText;
}
};
KP.onKeyUp = function() {
if (txtfield_mc.maxscroll2) {
bufferText = txtfield_mc.text;
} else {
txtfield_mc.scroll = 0;
txtfield_mc.text = bufferText;
}
trace(txtfield_mc.maxscroll);
