Change Size Of Text ? HOW?
Hi guys,
I have some text inside of a .fla file that I have and I want to make it larger. Inside of Flash cs3 I can do this and it changes to my liking, but when I export the movie it defaults to super tiny and the arial font.
Is there some kind of command I have to implement? There are other fields that have larger text, but it befuddles me to change it over here and there.
Thanks guys!

Change Font Size To Fit Dynamic Text Box Rather That AutoSize Text Box
Hey guys,
First post, I searched and couldn't find an answer to this question, I don't think this has been discussed but if it has I'm sorry.
All the threads I have seen are using autoSize to resize the text field around the text. What I would like to do is lower the font size of the dynamic text to fit the text into the dynamic text field. Is that possible? I saw a thread where they scale a movie clip to fit in an area but isn't what i want to do because it will cause more problems than it fixes.
Thanks in advance.

Any Way To Change Text Field Size From AS?
Does anyone know of a way to change the size of a text field using ActionScript? Are there any text box properties or methods I can call besides scroll and maxscroll. Or is that all they suport?
For example, say I have a dynamic text box with a variable name of myText. Something like this (which does not work by the way):
myText._xscale += 500;
Evidently, _xscale isn't a valid attribute for text boxes. Are there any?

Can I Dynamically Change A Text Font Size?
I was just wondering... is it possible to change the text font size of a text field dynamically.
It might be obvious... but I just can't figure how this might be done.
I know that you could have the text in a movie say... and simply resize the movie to resize the text... but can you dynamically DIRECTLY change the text font size?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

How Do I Change The Text Field Size Dynamically
Hi...
I have a text field in a movie clip. Depending on the content I want to change the height of the text field so that the entire text fits in the text field.
I have two buttons to scroll the movie clip up and down.
If I try to scroll the text field instead of the movie clip then the scrolling is very fast. Is there any way to controll it?

Drop Down Menus - How Do I Change Text Size?
Hi. I created a site with Flash and made a lot of drop down menus that link the whole thing together. The buttons are just text, but I need to change the size of the text becuase it is too small. The only way that I could figure out to do this woudl be to make new buttons of larger sized text, but then I'd have to adjust each frame in the menu and deal with a lot of busy-work. Is there a quick/easy way of just changing the text size of the buttons and drop down menus? Need help ASAP, please respond if you can help me. Thank you!

Dynamic Text That Doesn't Change Size?
Hello!
Is there a way to make it so that dynamic text does not change with the size of the flash movie? I published a movie using "Percent" and not "Match Movie", so the flash movie changes with the size of the browser window. But I do not want certain text to change size...
I tried loading the text through a *.txt file and then setting the font size <font size = "12">, however, the font size still changes with the movie...
Can anybody help me?

Change Dynamic Text Font Size
I have a dynamic text box that I do not want to be over 234 px wide. When I load in text that is too long, I simply want to resize the font size until it displays all characters. Here is what I have tried:
//Getting current format of description text field
f_picdesc = PictureDescription.getTextFormat();
while(PictureDescription.textwidth > 234){
f_picdesc.size = --f_picdesc.size;
PictureDescription.setTextFormat(f_picdesc);
}
Doing it this way creates an infinite loop as it appears that PictureDescription.textwidth never changes even though I setTextFormat. What am I missing or is there a better way to do this? Thanks for your help.

(FMX)Automatically Change Size Of Dynamic Text Box
I have an MC with a single-line dynamic text box in it. I am placing the MC on stage using attachMovie. Then I am loading text into the dynamic text box in the MC I just placed on stage. I am trying to figure out code that will make the dynamic text box either scale up or down to fit the text that I am loading into it. Any ideas?

Allowing Users To Change Menu Button Text Size...
I've been working for days, trying to come up with some solution to this. It's not a necessary feature for my upcoming website, but it would be nice because of the older age folks who might have trouble seeing some of the text. I've tried this:
on (press) {
myTextFormat = new TextFormat();
myTextFormat.size = 14;
scroller.setTextFormat(myTextFormat);
}
No luck with it, as it seems to have no effect on dynamic textfields within buttons. I've also tried:
on (press) {
dropdownmov.var4 = "<font face="Arial" size="12"> var4 </font>";
}
This changes the button text size, but unfortunately it takes the var4 variable and just uses its name instead of using the text that the variable actually holds. I don't know, it'd be cool if someone had some new ideas or whatever because I'm at the end of my rope on this one.

Change Stage Size (not Scale) Based On Browser Size?
Not sure this can be done. I've looked through LOTS of resizing tutorials, but they don't do exactly what I want, and I'm not sure it's possible.
Basically, I have a slideshow that loads from xml and fades in a variety of sizes of images in random positions. I'm trying to set it up so that the swf (which is in a div tag in an interface) will resize depending on the browser size and will use the NEW stage size to determine the x/y position of the images (without resizing them) and will skip any images that are too big for the stage size...
Any ideas if this is possible? Dynamically sizing and determining the "working area" of a swf based on the browser/div size?? Any tutorials out there?? I can figure out the code, I just need to know where to start...
THANKS!!!!

How To Change The Size.......
Hi,
Does anyone know how to change the size of this rotating 'E' found here => http://www.kirupa.com/lab/ein3d.htm
As I have tried to change the size but when I do I can no longer see the 'E'.
So I make it bigger and its there again so I imagine it is aligned or something like that.
But I am new to Flash and don't know what actionscript I need to change and how to change it.
If someone could help I would be grateful.
Just so you know I wanted to make it as small as the rotating 'E' roughly 150 px x 150 px.
I have attached the file.
Thanks from
