Hi
I have this code fragment on a frame:
this.createTextField ("tData",this.getNextHighestDepth (),189,353,600,100);
tData.text="Alcohol is a powerful drug cause by fermentation of sugars and is
the active principle of intoxicating drinks";
I have placed the text onstage during runtime, starting from 189, however, the
text is longer than what I have specified. I have specified 600, 100. I do not
want to increase the length. How do I wrap the text so that it fits instead of
disappearing off the stage? What is the additional code I need to embed?
Thanks. |

this.createTextField ("tData",this.getNextHighestDepth (),
189,353,600,100);
tData.autoSize = true;
tData.multiline = true;
tData.wordWrap = true;
tData.text="Alcohol is a powerful drug cause by fermentation of sugars
and is the active principle of intoxicating drinks"; |

Try this... After you create the text field set its wordWrap and autoSize...
tData.wordWrap = true;
tData.autoSize = "left"; |

| and enable its multiline property. |

Thank you both. I tried both your replies and then I tweaked the 600 width of
this message. It did not work if I didnt tweak this value. I have learned from
you both that your coding will work if the declared width is less than the
tData.text. Thank you for your replies and help. |

Hi NedWebs,
Thank you for your reply.
My next question and instead of opening up a new thread is related to this.
True and False situation using radio buttons.
I have created a true false quiz. I have set up the questions and displayed
the answers. I am now working on the true false button logic.
For example,
(Declaring the imports - not sure if this is as3 feature only or also a as2
feature)
import fl.controls.RadioButton;
import fl.controls.RadioButtionGroup;
import fl.controls.Button;
check box or check button (change of names but same functionality or am i
mistaken for this
var rbGroup: RadioButtonGroup = new RadioButtonGroup;
then I identify the radio buttons.
Am I on the right track? Is the algorithm for this true false quiz
actionscript standard? where can i get a script and adapt it for my purposes?
Thank you.
