how to split continuous text in a variable into two text-variables...?

[bp-fan]

Hi,

i have a little problem.

i need to split a continuous text-variable into two text-variables but in
whole words!
so i can show these two variables in a dynamic text-field...

example of loaded text:
variable1="this is my loaded text. i need to split these text. otherwise the
text is running out of the text field"

and now i want this:
variable1="this is my loaded text. i need to split these text."
variable2="otherwise the text is running out of the text field"

is this possible in flash (5)? and how?

greetings, megaron

Have you set your textfield to "multiple lines" and "wrap"? You can also
use _height=auto to make sure it will get all your text.
