[flexcoders] Re: Text truncateToFit

Hello,

thanks for your help. But I want the text to be truncated after then
second line. That doesn't work that way.

 Can be used in your case.

   Hi,

   Use mx:TextArea text=Hello kramus0 editable=false
 Width= Height=/

   Set the Width and Height in the design mode appropriately to
 specify 1 or 2 lines 
   as required.

   Thanks,

   I'm not sure whether this is a bug or not but
 truncateToFit doesn't
   seems to work for me.
   
   I have a text that has has a certain width and height so
 that it can
   show two lines. When I set truncateToFit to true and
 assign a text
   that is longer than to lines I would expect it is
 truncated at the end
   of the second line. 
   
   mx:Text truncateToFit=true x=400 y=400
 width=140 height=30
   text=This is the first Line. This is the second Line
 that should be
   truncated./
   
   So what I would expect to see is something like this:
   
   This is the first Line. 
   This is the second L... 
   
   But I get the following two lines (that scroll if I go
 on the text):
   
   This is the first Line. 
   This is the second Line
   
   So, any suggestions? Thanks.

Thanks for the information. So I guess the truncateToFit property
doesn't make any sense at the text tag??

 truncateToFit has no effect on Text.
 If you want that behavior, you either need to implement it yourself,
 or find someone that already has.
