problem w/ createTextField wordWrap

[dzr]

This isn't wrapping... it displays everything else fine....


this.createTextField("caption",1,100,310,260,75);
fmtEmphasis = new TextFormat();
fmtEmphasis.bold = true;
fmtEmphasis.multiline = true;
fmtEmphasis.wordWrap = true;
fmtEmphasis.size = 11;
fmtEmphasis.font = "Tahoma";
caption.text = "The secret of a Stradivarius violin's heavenly sound may actually have celestial origins. A tree-ring dating expert at the University of Tennessee and a climatologist at Columbia University offer a new theory.

caption.setTextFormat(fmtEmphasis);


I'm so clueless..........arrgghh

Because it should be applied to the textfield and not within the text format...

caption.wordWrap = true;

So would "multiline"!

fantastic! thanks so much!!!

i take it the other formatting "fmtEmphasis.size = 11;" etc. are correct...

you rule!

Look up the property summary for the TextFormat(object) in the AS dictionary.

Or the property summary for the TextField(object) also in the AS dictionary.
