Maximum text field width AS3

Question

How to set the maximum width of the text box?
I need an automatic width until it reaches the maximum width, so the text will be split into lines.

Answer 1

var maxWidth:Number = 200; textField.multiline = false; textField.wordWrap = false; textField.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT; textField.text = "Lorem ipsum"; if (textField.width > maxWidth) { textField.multiline = true; textField.wordWrap = true; textField.width = maxWidth; }
