Any way to determine where the line wrap(s) occurred?

I’m missing something – what are you trying to do again?

Yes, I can chain the radios together.

But I will need to know when a line wraps to implement.

use _ytile + 10 in the y property
of the radio - that will place it 10 pixels below the last one,

Let's say I have question with 4 distractors I'm going to assemble into a
single string and display via variable:



What is the value of Pi?



O  3, give or take.

O  It is a transcendental value so I can not give you the full value

O  3.1412

O  All of the above



Now, 2) is going to wrap based on the text box space I have.

I will need to chain reposition radios 3 & 4



Short of using a monospace font, can I determine where the line will wrap?



I can do this in Authorware using a bug in the Wincontrol.u32
