Text wrap for dynamic text box for Animate HTML5 (Canvas) app

I've got a dynamic text box (txt_correct) into which I add text of varying lengths at runtime. It's set to multiline, but when the text is over a certain length, because it doesn't text wrap, the tail end of the text does not show. How do I get it to text wrap using JavaScript or from within Animate? Thanks

I found out what the problem was. I was keeping track of the problems users were doing and presenting them in the form 1,2,3, etc. I was doing it without spaces, so what I was putting in the box was treated as one word, which, of course, doesn't text wrap. Now I'm putting in spaces, 1, 2, 3 etc., and it wraps just fine.

On fixed-width dynamic textfields, text wraps and the textfield vertically expands automatically as needed. So since what you're describing is not normal behavior, we're going to need more detail.

I just added three dynamic text boxes and set the positions and size. Should I not set the vertical height? I add text on the fly.

root.txt_correct.text = "Correct: " + root.correctAnswers;

root.txt_incorrect.text = "Incorrect: " + root.incorrectAnswers;

root.txt_given_answers.text = "Given: " + root.givenAnswers;
