hello all!!
i have two input text fields "first" and "last" names. When "create" button is clicked, i have the input text going into 2 dynamic textfields.

What i would like to have happen is the dynamic textfields length to be determined by the amount of text in the input text field.

i.e.: input text field :
first name : 123456789
Last name : 1234

Dynamic Text Field LENGTH is equal to :

First Name = 123456789 (lenght of text field is ONLY 9 characters)
Last Name = 1234 (lenght of text field is ONLY 4 characters)


Does anyone follow me?
Thanks in advance for the help....

Hi adroitemedia,

This will do it:

TextField.autoSize

If the value of autosize is "none", the text field behaves normally and does not automatically resize or align to match the text. If the value is "left", the text field expands or contracts its right and bottom sides to fit all contained text. The left and top sides remain at the same positions. If the value of autosize is "center", the text field auto-sizes, but the horizontal center of the text field stays anchored at the text field's original horizontal center position. The bottom side still expands to fit all contained text. If the value of autosize is "right", the text field auto-sizes; but the left and bottom sides expand or contract. The top and right side remain in the same positions.
That should work perfectly for you!

let me know.

peace.

Thank you so very much!

very cool. Now is there a way to make sure that the last Name dynamic text field gets placed directly behind the first name text filed.. whether the first name is 4 characters os 20 characters?

Thanks again!

I'm sure there are ways to align the two textfields one after the other.
But what I would do probably the easier option:
Just use one text field to show both the First Name and Last Name (this can be done by just adding the strings and displaying them that way)
Then you'll always end up with the two name together one after the other.

Unless theres a reason for two seperate text fields thats what I'd do!
Let me know how you get on.
