I have two text fields TextField1 and TextField2. I basically copy the text from TextField1 to TextField2 with actionscript on textChange. I notice that with TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT on, the TextField2 automatically puts in line-break after some characters. how is this default width chnaged for a TextField, so that the line break comes after specified characters only ?
