[AS3] TextField height

[IanLiu]

How do I predict the TextField height? When I initiate one, it comes with 100 height, but I want to set it to the fonts height.

I have tried the autoSize, but some times it shrinks the text field to a very tiny one, and some times it stays at fonts height, but I can't set its width anymore...

Is there a solution to this problem?

Thanks,
Ian Liu.

Hmm,
this assumes that your text got a text inside it. So, I would do this, right?

my_txt.text = "Some text";
my_txt.height = my_txt.textHeight;
my_txt.text = "";


Not very elegant... but thanks!
I will try it.

what about my_txt.htmlText especially when the input text contains the <BR/> tags? :

my_txt.htmlText ="this is lot of text <BR><BR> and
<BR>another text containing <br>";

it doesn't work!
