Hey Glen thanks for your matter
Actually I found a better way, working in my case. Not sure if its bullet
proof, but so far, its quite okay.
the line to look for is
var formatSize:int = Config.defautltFontSize * (cw / item.width)
variables:
var cw:Number = textField container width
Config.defautltFontSize = 12 (static configuration var that defines default
text size)
item is a textField (but could be something else)
function:
// resize to container size ( - offest )
// resize font if its a textField
private function constrainToSize(item)
{
var offset:Number = 3
// resize width first
if (item.width >= cw - offset)
{
//if textfield, resize font
var type = getQualifiedClassName(item)
if (type == "flash.text::TextField")
{
trace("itemIsText")
var formatSize:int = Config.defautltFontSize * (cw /
item.width)
var format:TextFormat = item.getTextFormat()
format.size = formatSize
item.setTextFormat( format);
}
item.width = cw - offset;
trace("constrained w : "+newW)
}
