[Flashcoders] Strange text scaling issue
I'm getting something odd: When I rescale my Flash movie (imported into Director) the text fields are scaling incorrectly: instead of stretching, they seem to be changing point sizes in a quantized way. The result is that text fields that were previously next to one another are overlapping or separating. This doesn't happen with other Flash movies, so I'm guessing I've accidentally set some kind of scaling property, but I can't find it. Anyone know?

Re: [Flashcoders] Strange text scaling issue
Hi Danny, Don't know of any relevant scaling property - but are you using embedded fonts? If not, at a guess it could be rendering using device/system fonts and messing up the scaling?

Re: [Flashcoders] Strange text scaling issue
Are these TF static or dynamic? Check if you've embedded fonts. Probably text fields that behave properly are either static or with fonts embedded, and ones strange are dynamic w/o embedded fonts. If so, with emb. fonts they are rendered as vector shapes (espesially when embedFonts=true). -- Best regards, GregoryN http://GOusable.com Flash components development.

If so, with emb. fonts they are rendered as vector shapes (espesially when embedFonts=true). I've tried embedded, non-embedded and Flash fonts, and I've tried static and dynamic text. So far it's all the same: looks like a movie-wide issue. Thanks Danny ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
