 This my example application:

 mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
 xmlns:components=components.* layout=absolute
   components:MyText text=This is the first line of text. And this is
 the second line. Third line is this. width=157 height=40/   
 /mx:Application
 
 Here is my example class (derived from Text):
 
 package components
 {
   import mx.controls.Text;
 
   public class MyText extends Text
   {
 public function MyText()
 {
   //TODO: implement function
   super();
 }
   
 override protected function
 updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number, unscaledHeight:Number):void
 { 
   super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth,unscaledHeight);
 
   trace('textField.numLines:' + textField.numLines);
   
   for (var i:uint = 0; i  textField.numLines; i++)

 trace ('textField.getLineText('+ i.toString() + '):' +
 textField.getLineText(i));
   }

  Thanks for your help. 
  
  But when is the text in the textField actually layouted? I have tried
  to get the right lines (that I acutally see in the end) after
  commitProperties and updateDisplayList - but there is always the wrong
  text in the textField properties. For instance I get 5 lines even if
  there are only 3 lines displayed in the end. 
  
  I have tried to set the width and height of the textField but this
  also didn't work.
  
  Any suggestions? Thanks.

   This might be fairly simple but how can I find out how many lines a
   text contains? If I for instance assign some long text to a text
field
   it is separated in different lines if the control height is big
  enough.
   
   So how can I find out how many lines are there and what their
content
   is?
   
   Thanks a lot.

I responded several days ago.  It is a player idiosyncracy.  We use
callLater to wait until after the text has rendered.
