An ActionScript 3 version would be lovely! ~ Andew Jack,

I did have one problem with it when I tried to implement the getLineMetrics method. It worked fine for some textfields, but for some it would give each line's x value as the same as the top line. It turned out that for some of these textfields 'newline' was being input as undefined. I replaced 'newline' with "\n" and it worked fine. And before you ask I have no idea exactly what these different textfields had in common, totally baffling! Just in case anyone else has the same issue. Jake Great class Jack, very useful.

So if your TextField changes positions or scrolls or repopulates, you should measure it again.
