Hello to everyone.
Sorry if this has been treated before but I searched through the threads but I haven’t found nothing about this.
Please have a look at the code below (I just create a TextField auto-resizing and I put some text in it):
[As]
package{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize;
public class WeirdBehaviour extends MovieClip{
// A long string
private var sText:String =
“Lorem ipsum causae adversarium per no, est ipsum numquam suscipiantur eu.”+
“Prima affert exerci vix in, usu in eleifend pericula, est no odio diam vocent.”;
// Pointer to the TextField that I will create
var txt:TextField = null;
public function WeirdBehaviour():void{
// 1) I create the TextField
txt = new TextField();
// 2) I set width and height:
// height set at 0 because I can’t tell how high it would be after the resize
// and I don’t want its heigth at 100 (that is the default value)
txt.width = 300;
txt.height = 0;
// 3) I set the autoSize in order to resize it and the wordwrap to true
txt.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.CENTER;
txt.wordWrap = true;
// 4) I set the text
txt.text = sText;
// 5) I add it to the display
addChild(txt)
// 6) the trace result is really weird!
trace(txt.height);
trace(txt.height);
}
}
}
[/As]
The weird thing is the output of the two trace:
19 (first trace)
49 (second trace)
But if I comment the line “**txt.height = 0;” **all works fine.
Also… without commenting the line but by setting:
txt.height = 4;
it works fine!
Instead with:
txt.height = 3; (or 2 or 1)
it doesn’t work
Where am I wrong? Is this a known issue?
Thanks in advance
