Question

When outputting links dynamically, I cannot determine the Y-Pos dynamically.
It will work find if my links are single lined.

link_txt.y = i*20;

this will only work if the links are Single Lined. assuming they are 15px for height + 5 for spacing.

As soon as they are 2 lines, they overlap. I’ve tried different methods but unable to figure it out.

Any ideas?

var offsetY : Number = 0;
for (var i : int = 0; i < links.length; i++) {   
 var link_txt : TextField = TextField(links[i]);
 link_txt.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
 link_txt.text = "http://www.google.be";
 link_txt.y = offsetY;   
 offsetY += (link_txt.height + 5);   
 addChild(link_txt); 
}
