Don't think it can be cleanly done. Search the flash forums, can add engine support if required,

You want the returns? But to restrict lineCount?

Doesn't that only give me a single entry line?
It won't take returns?

multiline = false; //hide all the borders and place on top of the graphic paper?

Any way to set a multiline te field to a specific height without setting scrolling =1?

Idea is to give the user a set area  (think a ruled page) to enter into.
No scrollbars and no running past the bottom.

Tried a few variations with
longtextentry._height = 200;

but as soon as I turn scrolling off, the tf just keeps expanding downwards, and if I turn scrolling on, well, the darn thing scrolls.
