[Julian Tenney]

Keep adding words and test height?

 

There is getTextExtent?

Fixed width text box
Variable length string
Font face/size may change

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
