I know how to adjust the whole text box size using auto size, but I haven't found an easy answer for merely adjusting the size of the font.
The Textbox size won't change, but sometimes a word will be long and other times short. Now I have a small font that looks silly when the word is small and doesn't fit when the word is big.
how can I adjust the font size using createTextField? I've tried using setTextFormat but it's still not working. code below:
fullPreloader.onLoadStart = function(target) {
target.createTextField("my_txt",fullImage_mc.getNe xtHighestDepth(),-200,0,200,20);
};
fullPreloader.onLoadProgress = function(target, loadedBytes, totalBytes) {
target.my_txt.text = Math.floor((loadedBytes/totalBytes)*100);

I'm building a small Flex UI component that displays a colored square next to a label of text. I want to be able to specify a size for the square and internally adjust the label's properties such that the line height matches the square and the text is vertically centered with respect to the square.
At the moment, I'm using mx.controls.Label for the text. Setting the fontSize style to the square's size does not work, the label then becomes too big. After tracing a couple of values in the debugger, I found that
the line height of the internal text field (sum of the ascent and descent properties of the TextFieldMetrics object obtained through getTextFieldMetircs()) seems to end up about 120% of what I specify a s font size.there's a default "leading" of 2 pixels that I can not change directly at the Label level, this adds to the overall height of the internal text field (getTextFieldMetrics().height)the height of the Label component then is an additional 5 pixels larger than that, I don't know where those come from.
Is there a function or property or better way to do what the following code do?
var width:int = 20
while (textField.defaultTextFormat.size > 1 && textField.width > width) {
textField.defaultTextFormat.size--
}
I have a static area that I'd like to fill completely with text regardless of whether the text is 30 characters or 2 characters. More specifically the user has to find a certain number of any given letter before moving on in the game and I'd like their progress to be displayed in this static area.
So first I tried scaling the TextField but the text inside stays the same size.
Then I tried putting the TextField inside a MovieClip, turning on autoSize, then scaling the MovieClip but that distorts the text too much because autoSize doesn't retain the original proportions of the TextField.
This makes me think that the best solution would involve dynamically changing the size of the font to fit all of the characters inside a given area.

View 7 RepliesI have made a UI control which contains a bunch of TextFields representing the members of an Array. I draw these un a list like in a combo box's drop down. Currently I hard code the height of the TextFields, iterate through the Array and position the TextFields by adding the hard coded height each time. Simple enough.
But now I would like to put the control in another place where I must use smaller text. So I would like to make the thing general so I can resuse it whenever I want, simply by applying a new TextFormat. My problem is that I want to still be able to position the TextFields accurately regardless of the font size used in the TextFormat. I have tried just creating the TextField, applying the TextFormat, setting the text, and then trying to read the TextField's height, but alas this does not work.
what the best way is to find each TextField's height so that I can build my list?
I am trying to build a flash that auto-adjust its size to the browser window size, while leaving the content of the flash itself top-centered in the screen.I have found this solution [URL].. on How to keep centered stuff in this exact case so i am pretty confident i will be able to adjust that script to do what i want.
Now my problem is that if i put my content inside the movie-clip (centerrectangle) with all the animation require, link and other stuff, the movieclip (center rectangle ) never have the exact same center, thus making the script go wild trying to always adjust the location to the variable size of the movie clip.

I used flash 8 to make a dropdown menu for my webpage.
This menu is an horizontal bar which expands everytime you rollover one of its buttons.
My problem is, when i import it to my webpage (in dreamweaver) i get a huge square with the menu and the background (white colored) which represents my hole document.
Is there anyway to fit the menu size so that instead of a huge square I get only a small bar, but the vertical panels still show up when rolled over?
how can i adjust the stage size to user resolution?
View 3 RepliesI have finally found a scroll bar that I really like the look of, made by Oringe (thanks knvb1123, thread: http:[url].... It can be downloaded here: http:[url].....
This blur scroller is set to adapt to the size of the main window, as far as I understand. I would like to know if there is a way to put the scrolling area to a fixed size rather than using the height of the main window to scroll? I basically want to use this scrollbar in a fixed size area of say 300 width and 400 height.
I have a website and it is set to 100% of the browser window. Everything in the browser is left aligned. I have a script that when u has an event listener on the RESIZE so that everything will be centered when u adjust the window. What my problem is that right when the page loads the swf is left aligned. I want the stuff to be already centered but the only way to do that is to adjust the browser window. Heres my site: My Example Watch that when it loads its all to the left. Resize the browser and everything will snap to the middle.

View 2 RepliesI have a list of fonts obtained via Font.enumerateFonts() and I want to display them all as 12 pixels tall. The problem is that I cannot simply set the point size because this can vary in actual pixel size for each font. So basically I want to determine what the correct point size is for a font in order to make it exactly 12 pixels tall. Because I'm doing this with a potentially large list I'm looking for an efficient method to do this.

When the Flash movie begins, I do map.setSize(new Point(stage.width, stage.height)); on the map initialization. I'm using version 1.20 of the SWC component on Flash CS5 and AS3. However, when I compile the SWF, the player crashes. I've seen that with v1.8 of the API you can resize the map to the stage size with no problem.
I'm trying to create the following component: Just for information, the blank space will contain a text control, and I'm creating a component that represents the black corner with the (i) icon and the "promotion" text. The part I'm having issues with is this component representing the black corner with the diagonal text. The text has to be able to hold 2 lines. And the black corner has to be able to adjust to the text's size. What's more, the text has a rotation... I'm having some doubts on how to do this:
Should I have different controls for each text line? Should I draw the text in the shape (after doing the rotation) or should I just overlap both components? [When I talk about drawing the text in the shape, I mean in the same way as asked in this question] Is there any way to get the proper size of the triangle shape without doing some extravagant calculations?
