I’m trying to create rows of information in Flash using createTextField in a dynamically attached movieclip. I have the autoSize property set to “center” to account for varying lengths of text. However when I try to obtain the height of the current textbox so I can set the _y property of my next record, Flash doesn’t seem to be recognizing the autoSize property and returns the same height for each record. I added a second frame in the movieclip I’m attaching with a “trace(this._height)”… The correct height property is shown.
Does anyone know how I can get the height property right away after creating the textbox?
