ActionScript 3: How to expand DynamicText automatically?

Question

Hi,

How do you make a DynamicText spans into 2 lines when the text (dynamically-assigned) is too long.

I want to keep the width, but the height should adjust automatically.

Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

yourTextField.multiline = true;

If the dimensions of the TextField are not enough to house the extra text you may also want to use:

yourTextField.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;

which will extend the height of your TextField (but not width as the multiline has been set to true)
