Does anyone know of an equivalent to the TextFormat.getTextExtent() method of AS2 in AS3? I have a fixed size box that I place text in. If the text doesn't fit, I want to programmatically adjust the font size so that it does (if possible). So does anyone know a way of getting the size of a string of text that accounts for the format/font of the text? Thanks, shaun
