Dynamically setting the TextField size according to read Text
Hi all,
I am reading some text from a file. I load it into a textfield and that textfield is in a movieclip which in turn is in a scrollpane.
The problem is the text size varies. And I want to be able to view the whole text. How can I automatically set the size (or height) of the textfield to the size of what I read? (that might have little bits of HTML).
Thanks in advance

umm, I think there is something wrong here.
I tried to create some data file like this...
** any crap here **
and at the end
(a number of tabs, like 20-30) and then any text.
The text after the tab disappears.

What I am trying to say is that it works perfectly; however, it has some bug, I guess.
In the text file, put 20 or 30 (tabs). When I did that, the text following the tabs disappeared.
Hope that's clear.

I have tried with this text:

[actually they are 40 tabs]
and still works...
