Dynamic line spacing Apr. 14th, 2009 @ 04:56 PM Reply

How do I control the line spacing of my Dynamic Text?

textfield.leading = 5; doesn't work on "dragged from the toolbar" Dynamic Texts .

If I set the Line Spacing property on the Dynamic Text, it will reset to default once I change the textfield.text value.

What do I do if I rather not start creating, adding and removing childrens?

The leading property isn't part of the TextField class, it's part of TextFormat. Keep a TextFormat stored and modify it's leading property, then re-set the text field's TextFormat using setTextFormat() whenever you change it.
