For example my text is: this text ends with a longlonglong word. If i truncate it at 100 pixels, the text will be: this text ends with a longlon... By my client wants to have: this text ends with a... So basically truncation should cut the whole word, and not in the middle of it. If its not possible can you tell me the function which handles the text truncation? Thanks. Hi

I believe that you'll need to proxy DB requests through a server-side-script using ColdFusion/Java/PHP/<other>. Your best bet would be to ask in the FlexCoders list and see what suggestions everybody has. Peter yogesh gaur,
