Description | Use the formattedHeight property to determine how much vertical space an object needs. For example, if your stack has a field whose contents change for each card, use the field's formattedHeight property in an openCard handler to resize the field for its contents on each card. If you specify a card or group, the formattedHeight reports the height of a rectangle that includes all objects in that card or group whose visible property is true. If you specify an image or player, the formattedHeight property reports the original un-scaled height of the image or movie. If you specify an object in a group, the value reported is the formattedHeight that object requires for the current card, so if you want to get the formattedHeight of a field's text on a certain card, you must go to that card first. The formattedHeight of a field is the amount of vertical space the field's text requires, taking line breaks into account and including top and bottom margins. The formattedHeight of a chunk in a field is the amount of vertical space that portion of the field's text requires, taking line breaks into account but disregarding margins. | ||||||
