I had a couple of dynamic text fields that i want to center it vertically, hence i started using the .textHeight property, which apparently worked until i started testing (various font size, leading, plain or html text…). with further testing i found that by multiplying the actual textHeight by 1.35 (??), it stayed consistent (code follows). But that cant be right can it? Anyone would know what would cause this bug? I am usinf AS2, FP10, the font is embedded,
trace(copy01.reviewText.textHeight);
