I am trying to autosize a Multiline Dynamic Textfield, but it doesnt work…if i change the textfield to a single line, my AS autoSize=true works fine…but if its set to be a multiline it doesnt shrink if the text is smaller than it.

How do i get my multiline textboxes to shrink to be efficient, so theyre only as big as the stuff in them?
