I just uploaded an example of my situation right now. The top row of TextFields has embedFonts set to false and the bottom row has embedFonts set to true. When set to true the TextField border becomes very small and the displayed text is shifted up and left aligned to the center of the original TextField. The TextField textWidth properties are also skewed as you can see the alignment of the TextFields is off in the lower example.

In timeline development I could insert an extra frame, to wait a frame for some TextField properties to be set but I don't know how I can achieve the same effect in straight actionscript. keywords for search: Using Flash CS3 (Flash 9) Actionscript 3.0 (as3) _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
