Adobe AIR Development

I have two input TextFields that will be replaced with InputText fields when I'm finished. But I have a problem. If I write too long of a word in the box, it expands beyond the screen, or if I use a fixed width, part of the text gets cut off.

So, is there an easy way to squeeze whatever text is entered into a fixed or variable space?

Setting the width just crops the text so it seems.

I really need help with this ASAP as the deadline is really close..

EDIT: Also, my app has many sound files, I've embeded them using:

[Embed(source="/res/Sounds/Example.mp3")] public var ExampleSFX:Class;

Does this mean that I don't need to bundle the actual sound files with/in my app?

I hope I'm not asking too many questions.

Also when I use the 'tab' key to go from field to field the fields in focus will lose its formatting completely (i.e font, size, color). Why would that happen? Hopefully this won't happen on the tablet when switching between fields.

If you are concerned go ahead an submit a version right now (you have less than 3 hours!) with the text getting cut off and the sound files included then fix the rest ASAP

Well I was really hoping to get this solved before submitting. I don't want to risk being rejected, also, the problem could be annoying to users.

I doubt you will get rejected because on piece of text is off. Also they won't look at your app for a few days for review so if you get in a new version and they don't like the first they will probably look at your newer version. 

But if you don't submit on time you are almost sure to not get in.

Ok, well I'll just submit this if I don't solve it soon enough.

have you tried setting the TextInput to multiline and then set the autosize property to "left".

This is basically wordwrap. It isn't exactly what you want but I think otherwise you will have to watch the size and calculate how much to scale it with the xscale and yscale values.

I'll try that, also, I'm unsure of how to fill out this field:

<!-- A universally unique application identifier. Must be unique across all AIR applications.
Using a reverse DNS-style name as the id is recommended. (Eg. com.example.ExampleApplication.) Required. -->
 <id></id>

 Do I really need to use reverse DNS? I can't just use my app name?

Why wouldn't you use reverse-DNS? It basically ensures that no one else is going to have the same application ID as yours. If someone is trying to find your specific app, "com.foo.Bar" has a better chance of uniquely identifying you than just "Bar".

I think it would work but as mentioned above you should. I don't know why you wouldn't as this is an increasingly common way to do things. (Check you address bar or any java package)

[Kai001]

Ok I'll do that. But do I need to uncomment and fill other fields too, like description?

EDIT: What about the icon fields?
