[Flash CS3 - AS2 - Mac]
Hi, I need your help, I’m stuck on this and am unsure what to do next to look for a solution.
Heres a brief description of my current project.
I’m using mProjector to turn my Flash movie into a Mac Application
The application is pretty much a large user form that creates 3 files on the desktop when the user selects the save button.
1 is a document specific filetype (just a renamed xml file) an xml file, and an html file.
It then loads in the xml data when the user navigates to the saved file later.
Anyway. The HTML file. So far I’m not having any trouble getting Flash to dynamically create HTMl code based off of variables filled out by the user.
However, I need the 10 multiline textfields that exist in the form to be limited in how many rows the user can create (you know, type a sentence, hit return etc…)
The reason for this is that the HTML file created has limited dimensions, I can’t have the text in it overflowing. I COULD put scrollbars into the sections of the HTML page, but that wouldn’t solve the problem. The HTML page is solely there to provide a neat, clean and formatted page destined to be printed off as soon as its created.
So scrollbars are out. No matter how many times I print them they stop scrolling as soon as they hit paper. 
I need the user to be restricted by how much text they can enter. I can set the overall character limit but while it does prevent a certain amount of lines/rows to occur it doesn’t do it soon enough (I can put in 10 lines, then start typing before the limit is reached. I can’t have certain boxes go beyond 5 rows/lines)
Any ideas? I googled the problem, did a search in the help docs, and then did a manual search in the help docs. So I’m guessing the problem isn’t as simple as
inputTextField.rows = 5;
No idea why not…
At any rate I need help figuring out a workaround.
Thank you for your time, patience, and potential help.
It is appreciated you know.
