native.newTextBox with auto height?

So, I was able to use the native.textBox to show the emojis (I used a display.newText to roughly calculate the height of the textBox)

Unfortunately now I have the problem that native objects appears always on top, and the app has a nav bar on top and the textBox is appearing above the navbar (the scrollview mask does not hide the native obj).

My next attempt will use Rob suggestion to use a webView. The sad side of that is that I will have not only to show the text with emoji but also implement the scrollview and the other objects that appear on the screen…

The webview is still going to set on top like the textbox.

I know… that is why I cannot use the webview just to display the text (it would behave as the native.textBox), I would need to use a webview that fills all my screen minus the topbar (which in my app is basically a scrollview with the text feed).

But I changed my mind in trying the webview now. I found the emojis icons on in the internet and I will just use them as image, replacing the Corona mono-color emojis.

If I succeed on that, I will later post the code on github for other users.
