Question

This somehow simple task is not so simple.
I can get the number of lines of the textarea using mx:internals, but thats is not always the longest line ending by a newline.

I tried all sort of textArea.text.split("\n") \r <br/> {/n ..
It always returns me the length of 1.

My eternal worshipping to anyone who can put me in the right direction.

Use /\r/ instead of /\n/.

Not sure why; it just works that way.
