TextField didnt come into it's own until flash 6, when it got properties, instance names etc.
The only reliable way to measure I can think of is to do it "by hand" meaning that you would need to type all of your characters in the font and size your using and get a pixel width for each. Then you could dump those values into an object and loop over it adding each character until you got an estimated width. Something like this...
