Returning Non Fixed Text Field Height
Is there an expression that returns the height of a text field (non fixed). if i try to use the “.height” expression, it just returns the height for the comp. thanks!

Not directly. You can use this sampleImage() hack to get it though:
L = thisComp.layer("Your Text Layer");
for (i = 0; i <= thisComp.height; i++){
temp = L.sampleImage([thisComp.width/2,i],[thisComp.width/2,0.5],true,time);
if (temp[3] > 0){
top = i;
break;
}
}
for (i = thisComp.height; i >= 0; i--){
temp = L.sampleImage([thisComp.width/2,i],[thisComp.width/2,0.5],true,time);
if (temp[3] > 0){
bottom = i;
break;
}
}
bottom - top
