I am working on a Flash application (MX 2003/Win 2000) that uses a lot of Dynamic Text Field objects and loads text from external .txt files. After MUCH TREVAIL (setting the wordWrap property in AS is about as reliable as a rain dance), I finally scrapped the use of createTextField and just created the Text Fields in the authoring tool, while using ActionScript to set those properties not accessible in the propery inspector.

With that said, I am only able to set the Line Spacing propery in the property inspector. It is not available as a tweakable property in ActionScript!! My files are located on a Unix server and the Line Spacing is not working over the Internet, but when viewed locally it works fine.

Perhaps that has been addressed in ActionScript 2.0 but that doesn't help those of us who haven't upgraded due to the stories on this forum about the new version(s). Anyone have any suggestions? Please tell me the problems associated with Dynamic Text Fields, especially with wordWrap in conjunction with createTextField has been addressed in MX 2004.

Best regards,

Jip
