ActionScript 2.0 Language Reference - Adobe Help and Support

When you test the example, try entering new values into width_txt and height_txt to
change the dimensions of my_txt.
The MovieClip.getNextHighestDepth() method used in this example requires Flash Player
7 or later. If your SWF file includes a version 2 component, use the version 2 components'
DepthManager class instead of the MovieClip.getNextHighestDepth() method.

_height (TextField._height property)
wordWrap (TextField.wordWrap property)
public wordWrap : Boolean
A Boolean value that indicates if the text field has word wrap. If the value of wordWrap is
true, the text field has word wrap; if the value is false, the text field does not have word
wrap.
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 6
Example
The following example demonstrates how wordWrap affects long text in a text field that is
created at runtime.
this.createTextField("my_txt", 99, 10, 10, 100, 200);
my_txt.text = "This is very long text that will certainly extend beyond the
width of this text field";
my_txt.border = true;
Test the SWF file in Flash Player by selecting Control > Test Movie. Then return to your
ActionScript and add the following line to the code and test the SWF file again:
my_txt.wordWrap = true;
_x (TextField._x property)
public _x : Number
An integer that sets the x coordinate of a text field relative to the local coordinates of the
parent movie clip. If a text field is on the main Timeline, then its coordinate system refers to
the upper left corner of the Stage as (0, 0). If the text field is inside a movie clip that has
transformations, the text field is in the local coordinate system of the enclosing movie clip.
Thus, for a movie clip rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise, the enclosed text field inherits a
coordinate system that is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise. The text field's coordinates
refer to the registration point position.
