I need to place project-titles in a multiline textfield, wherof the
width will be fixed, but sometimes this box might be of less height
because of more space used by other displaying project elements.
Is there a class that can dynamically regulate the font it's size to fit
the loaded text to a
Sounds like a bad design decision to make titles of the same category
various sizes. But I think you can just set the .width property, then set
the .scaleY equal to the .scaleX or visa versa depending on which dimension
is more important.

I'm talking about font size, not stretching a container.
Increasing / decreasing font size to get an optimal fill of a box which
will have a fixed width and a certain height which can only be
determined during load time.
I could increase the font size of a textfield in a loop and measure it's
Is there an important distinction between scaling a TextField object and
changing the font size? Perhaps you are storing the formatting or there are
visual rendering implications or anything?? Otherwise, it seems like Joel's
solution would work nicely to achieve what you want.

On Wed,
Hi Joel, Jonathan anf Dave for your answers
Dave could you explain what you mean with a binary search ?

No problem.
A binary search is an order log(N) method for finding something in an
ordered list of elements, as compared to linear search, which is order N.
(N is the number of elements, in this case, font sizes you are willing to
use.)
You have a sequence of font sizes. For each size, it either
The distinction is that wordwrapping should be optimal, as you know when
you increase / decrease a fontsize, the wordwrapping changes.

Text flow of variable-width fonts with word-wrapping is inherently messy...
there's no way to compute the number of lines with some nice math, you just
have to run the text-flow machinery and measure the result, which is exactly
what you have suggested. I'm pretty certain there is nothing built
