i have used the masked text field in a website I am making for a local restaraunt. it works how it is supposed to except i had to make the width 350 instead of 450. i also made the mask 320 instead of 420. the textfield displays correctly but the text inside still looks like it is using the 450px setting it does not wordwrap correctly and I cannot find anywhere to make an adjustment. the site design was based off of bulp example. i had one of these in the working a while back but put it on the back burner and brought it back for this project.

click on the daily special link and you will see what i mean. the text there is set to be centered.

BUMP someone help! please test this code the text wraps outside box still and i see no settings to adjust.

<!-- MASKED TEXTFIELD with scroll buttons -->

<!-- scale9grid scaled textbox image -->
<plugin name="textbox" url="textfield.png"
align="center" edge="center" x="0" y="0"
scale9grid="5|5|12|55"
width="300"
height="300"
visible="false"

/>

<!-- the textfield itself -->
<plugin name="text" url="textfield.swf"
parent="textbox"
align="lefttop" x="10" y="10"
background="false" borderwidth="0"
html="data:testtext"
css="p{color:#000000; font-family:Arial; font-size:12;}"
autosize="left"
mask="textmask"
onclick="set(plugin[textbox].visible,false"
onhover="showtext(Click to Close)"
/>



<!-- textfield mask to maskout hidden/out-scrolled text -->
<plugin name="textmask" url="box.png"
parent="textbox"
align="lefttop"
x="5" width="280"
y="5" height="280"
/>

Thank you Graydon i will try that tonight. I do not need to have the text scrollable for this implementation.
