Multi-Line Text Input in HTML5 Canvas (Animate CC)

I Am working on an Interactive activity using HTML canvas that requires a box to write a paragraph answer to a specific question. I have tried using the text input component built into animate but it only seems to work on one line and carries on beyond the boundaries of the box. Is there a way to make the box multi-line and return to the following line when it hits the edge? I am a beginner to html and cant figure this out.

    You can't do what you want using the input component. To do multi-line input you have to use a textarea, which is a different HTML element.

    If you're willing to roll your own solution, the approach in this thread may work for you:
