xscale = yscale = someScaleFactorGreaterThanOne? From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Nate Beck Sent: Monday, January 12, 2009 2:15 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Re: Expanding size of panel, and its contained objects.
What Wesley is saying seems like a good starting point. I haven't heard of this type of behavior before. But a uniform scaling of all components and all of their text at the same time will be a challenge... sidenote: I'm on a mac, so if I can't read something, I just use the Command+Option+8 shortcut to enable accessibility, and then Command+Option+= to zoom in.

Maybe you could increase the font size by giving everything a font size attached to a variable. Or try using CSS to benefit from Cascading rules?
