I have text coming in via remoting. I can see the text, however it will not multiline for some reason. I have checked the height of the text box and set it to 500 which should be sufficient. Anyone got any ideas? Here is the code:

// CREATING HEADLINE TEXT FORMAT /////////////////////////////////////////
headformat = new TextFormat();
headformat.font = "HelveticaNeue Condensed";
headformat.bold = true;
headformat.size = 36;
headformat.multiline = true;

createTextField("headLine",this.uiDepth++,13,17,11 4,500);

// HEADLINE TEXT ////////////////////////////////////////
headLine.text = result.items[0].c_Textline;
headLine.selectable = false;
headLine.multiline = true;
headLine.setTextFormat(headformat);
headLine.embedFonts = true;

just wondering, why do you do all of that instead of using dynamic text field tool? what is the advantage?

Its coming in from a database.. plus i like creating it dynamically cause its more organized. By the way - I figured it out if anyone needs to know for further use - just add this to the existing code

headLine.wordWrap = true;

thanks Brown... I haven't really done anything with it besides put some beats I made on it, but I wanna spend some time developing it within the next few months.
