getLineMetrics() does not seem to be working on Text components created through actionscript. It does work when using an inline <mx:text componet but I need to create the Text components at runtime with actionscript. Has anyone else noticed this?
I have tried using measureText(componentId).width instead but it always returns the same value for any Text component containing a single letter whether it be a wide letter like W or a narrow letter like I. I need to be able to measure the actual width of the text within an actionscript created Text component. Anyone ?? Rich ------------------------ Yahoo!
