Here is a small tutorial of all you need for text feild inside a movie clip.

First we should create our movie clip

createEmptyMovieClip(“fudge”,i);

Now Lets create our text feild inside of the movieClip fudge

with (“fudge”) {

createTextField(“my_title”,getNextHighestDepth(),0,0,350,20);

}

Nice now we have a text feild that is called my_title and that is inside fudge we can even control several things of that text feild, like height, html, border, multiline and so on here if we continue with the with scope again

with (“fudge”) {

createTextField(“my_title”,getNextHighestDepth(),0,0,350,20);
my_title.autoSize = “left”;
my_title.wordWrap = true;
my_title.multiline = true;
my_title.border = false;
my_title.html = false;
my_title.text =” This should be a long text to test the auto height of the text feild we are creating and check if its working well”;

}

Since we put autoSize to left and multiline and autowrap to true then the textFeild will grow by height.

Now Finally, We also can add text Format to color our text and choose the font  size here is what we do

var title_format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
title_format.color = 0xEBCF4E;
title_format.font = “Tahoma”;
title_format.size = 11;
title_format.bold = true;

But also we shouldnt forget to style the thing we’ve started so here

my_title.setTextFormat(title_format);

Now this shouldnt go with the text thing at all but I always prefer to adjust the height of the movieClip to the height of Text incase I want to use the movieClip height later so here how to do it

with (“fudge”) {

_height = my_title._height;

}

So now if I want to add any movie beneath Fudge all what I have to do is

myNewMovie._y= fudge._height+fudge._y;

Thats all folks. hope this was helpful enough for you ^^”
