Hi everyone,

I’m a Flex/OOP newbie and I’ve been trying to work with the wonderful [FishEye component](http://www.quietlyscheming.com/blog/components/fisheye-component/) by Ely Greenfield and add the ability to display multiline text fields (really all I need is two lines instead of one). Has anyone been able to get this implemented? I assume I need to make some modifications to the CachedLabels class but I just can’t seem to figure out where to begin. Can anyone shed some light?

Thanks!
