The simplest solution I can think of is to put the textfield into a movieclip and then change the movieclip's _width property to math the width of the label. /Johan -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Chris Gaelic Sent: den 17 december 2005

You probably don't use an embeded font then. I think that's the only way to be able to rescale dynamic textfields. /Johan -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Chris Gaelic Sent: den 17 december 2005 11:33 To: 'Flashcoders mailing list' Subject:

I can get it to work if I use a truetype font like Arial set up as static text. The text then stretches inside the movie clip. However, if I change the text type to Dynamic - because I want to change it using ActionScript - then it no longer stretches with the movie clip. Thanks, Chris Chris

Good! you're looking around and getting comfortable with doing so in Xray! Ok, some tips: 1. When browsing through global, you'll see your packages and objects. You'll see all classes - instance, static, singleton etc. You *can* see static properties/objects through global since that's where

Mini update - I've simplified and am loading an image in to a movieclip and applying the distortion filter to the movieclip. Much easier...anyhow, before applying the distortion i am creating a button in that movieclip. The problem now is that the button visually distorts but the hit area

YES! that's a great tip - you don't have to start at _level0 in your snapshots - it's just the default ;) I'm surprised that the non-recursive searches posed a problem. Once you start with a single snapshot, you should be able to click on objects in the treeview and have it expand on demand.
