Positioning the textField Y coord based on TextField Height

Hi All,

I wanted to position the TextField based on the height of the text in the text field. Not able to figure where I am doing wrong. The Y position does not leave 25 pixels after the last line of text. Textfield1 and Textfield2 kind of overlap.

I am able to get the TextField Height, by using the Timer Class. I am trying to position the y coordinates with 25 pixel spacing between the last line of the TextField and the next available Textfield.

_totalDistractors = 4

for(var i:int = 0; i < _totalDistractors ; i++) {
var taradioButtoni:TextArea = new TextArea();
taradioButtoni.text = answerChoices*; // Text Comes from array
taradioButtoni.width = 380;
taradioButtoni.height = taradioButtoni.textHeight + 10;

taradioButtoni.y = i*(taradioButtoni.height + 25);// Need to refine this line of code

taradioButtoni.wordWrap= true ;
}
