Tom, Have you read ALL the post you quoted ([Flashcoders] Dynamically kern text??, 2004) ?
There's a link in it: == Here's the link to a tool that let's you use this method: http://www.swfx.org/stringwidthcalculator/index.jsp Nice tool BTW. While it makes static effect only... I used something similar for my Text2Curve component (which allows you to place dynamic text along one of pre-defined but editable curves): http://www.gousable.com/flash/ . Also, from your own post it doesn't seem you really need that complex code. Maybe you can just use static text? ;-) Also #2: You can't use <strong> tags in Flash, just <b> . Anyway, feel free to ask more, but try to be more specific :-). -- Best regards, GregoryN ================================ http://GOusable.com Flash components development.
