Thanks Johan, but that only works if I break the text into its outline geometry and then instance it as a movie clip. Text within a movie clip stays the same size when the mc is scaled.

This require changing the aspect ratio of the text - expanding or compressing its width relative to its height. Of course it is easy to do within Flash - but I can't find any way to do it dynamically using ActionScript. Does anyone know if it can be done?
