Hello,

I think that the question that i have is easy however i can not seem to figure it out. I am loading text dynamic. That works fine but i would like for the text box to make it self longer if there is more text being put into it. right now it seems that i can only alow extra space for more text if i make the dynamic text box extra long to start with. What i would like to do is make the text box a set width and have it expand longer depending on how much text is entered into it. I am just wondering if i might not have something selected right.
