You could look at how LoveUI does things.

Also, take a look at love.graphics.setScissor.

Feel free to take a look at my code for LuaEdit, its very messy but contains frames that resize to fit the text they contain.

I can do that; my problem is making text scroll if you get too far into the textbox.

For example, look at an ordinary HTML textinput, if you type all the way to the end, it starts shifting the text to the left. That's what I'd worry about primarily.

Thanks, that looks like it'd work. I'll work on it as soon as I figure out why my class system is messing up and not inheriting properly :L

I'm getting a realy wierd bug. I'm not ready to release the source yet, can anyone fix it for me? If so, I'll message you a .love and details.

It'd be greatly appreciated.

Do not double post, let alone triple post.

If somebody fixes if for you, how will you learn from it? We can attempt to help you fix the bug if you provide the suspect code. Posting it here for everyone to see is a much easier way of getting help than trying to ask people on a one-on-one basis.

I wasn't ready to release the source, but if you think it'd be better; I'll edit this post with a mediafire link. I'm not sure how to use the forum uploading.

Sorry, I thought I was editing, not posting. My mistake, if there's still delete and edit buttons on them (Some forums remove them for some reason after some time), I'll merge them.

Edit;
Can't merge. Why does the delete button disapear ?
Sorry for the triple post though :-(

Oh, there's the upload button

The problem is in class.lua somewhere.

You can see what's going wrong if you trigger one of the button's events (Hover them or something)- It triggers events for ALL instances for some reason. It's definitly my class file going wrong somewhere.

If you're wondering what part of my code is for, just ask.

trappingnoobs, you can only delete your last post in a thread.

so you have the remove al your post after a post, to remove a post xD

I did try. Once you've posted over it, it doesn't let you :-(
