I have a dynamic textfield that I am creating in an as3 class. It’s a set pixel height. Sometimes it will have up to three lines, but sometimes only one.

I know there is not vertical align property. But what would be the solution for aligning this to the bottom?

In as2 there was a way to count lines. But I’m having trouble finding that in as3. Not to mention, once I have a line count, how will I shift it down.

Any help would be great!
