Dynamic text field doesnt resize to fit text properly 1

[freakyjas]

Im using a dynamic text field and populate it with a variable and some standard text (e.g. message1 + "hope youre having a great day&quot however it cuts off some of the text - how can i get this field to resize to fit the text? thanks

thanks

Have you looked at TextField.autoSize in the AS dictionary?

This is a good default setting for a textfield with instance name 'field':

field.multiline = true;
field.autoSize = "left";

... there are several options beyond 'left' but at least everything should be visible at this setting.
