layout
« on: March 02, 2009, 10:23:37 pm »
Hi !
How can I put, for example, 30 lines of plain text in many pages as needed to fit the text?
I take the text from a database and only the first 28 lines are visible, the last 2 lines go under the page.

Sorry for my bad english ;-)

thank's

Florian Nücke

That's not possible, I'm afraid... even the textfield object that is builtin into Flash can't do multiple columns of text. ;)

You'll need some mechanism in your script that calculates/guesstimates how much lines a given text produces and then split that up into multiple pages in the xml yourself.
For the Snark was a Boojum, you see.
