Question

How to retrieve text from TextLines

hi,

I'd like to compute the text which is displayed by n number of TextLines. I was trying to obtain the text displayed by a single TextLine through 

composer.getLineAt(0).getTextLine().textBlock.content.text
but this displays much more than what this TextLine actually draws.

got it
var str:String = "";
        var flowComposer:IFlowComposer = textFlow.flowComposer;
        var lineLimit:uint = Math.min(n, flowComposer.numLines);
        var flowLine:TextFlowLine = flowComposer.getLineAt(lineLimit - 1);
        var endIndex:uint = flowLine.absoluteStart + flowLine.textLength;
        return textFlow.getText(0, endIndex);
