2008-04-18 Thread mthomas1969

I've embedded some SVG files and loaded them into mx:Image tags, but I can't seem to adjust the styles in the SVG drawings. The Flex docs say that CSS styling works with SVG, but I can't get it to work. I'll admit that CSS is one of weak points, so it may be something obvious I'm

Does anyone know of an easy way to autosize text (ie. adjust the font size) in order for a particular text string to fit into a prealloted space? I'd like to have a label that is set to a specific width and then put a text string into it and have the size of the font adjust itself so that the
