textfield maximum ?

[milo]

I have a static textfield in Flash that is used in a scrolling effect.

I have noticed that Flash has a maximum of character that it displays. After that certain amount of characters, flash just dosen't display the rest of the text. If you divide the text into different textfield, it's fine.

Of course, the solution would be to use dynamic text. No problem, no limitation of character, but I just wanted to know :

is that a known problem in Flash ? If so, does anyone know what is the maximum amount of characters for a static textfield ?

think it might be more to do with the height rather than the number of characters...

I know the max width of an mc is about 2880 pixels...could be the same for height...

try reducing the point size of your text and see if more of it is displayed

Yes, that seems to make sense... otherwise there would be a specification in the tabs for maximum of characters.

Thanks!
