Text Block Sprite

I created a control for a block of text. It works much like the TextField but you can specify the maximum width and it will wrap to a second line.

	local textArea = TextArea.new(font, text)	
	textArea:setPosition(10, 10)
	textArea:setMaxWidth(300)
	textArea:setLineSpacing(4)
	textArea:setTextColor(0xffffff)
	self:addChild(textArea)

The source code is here: https://github.com/mozicodo/gideros-TextArea

NICE! Thanks for sharing.

Does it work with BMFonts too?

It should. It just wraps up a bunch of TextFields and passes the fonts to them.

Ok, then not. Cause BMFont are supported by BMTextFields, not Textfields.

Ahh. Never used bitmap fonts. It should be easy enough to do a bitmap capable version.
