2007-01-09 Thread Mike Mountain
Anyone know how to format text to above  96px high using the texformat
object - it seems to just ignore them.

Re: [Flashcoders] Textformat size ignores anything over 96

2007-01-09 Thread Marcelo Volmaro
You can´t. I had to develop an application that needed text sizes bigger  
than that, and i had to create a special text field in where if the size  
was bigger than 96px (in fact the limit is on the line of the 80px, that´s  
why i use 81 in the function), i scaled up (by for example 200%) the text  
field and place the text scaled down (by 50% in this case).


The function i use to find the scale is:

private function calcFSize(pSize:Number, pDiv:Number):Number {
pDiv = pDiv || 1;
if ((pSize / pDiv)  81) return pDiv;
return calcFSize(pSize, ++pDiv);
}


and you use it like:

var fontSize = 384;

var perc = calcFSize(fontSize); //fontSize is the size in pixels of the  
font.

textformat.size = fontSize/perc;
textfield._xscale = textfield._yscale = perc * 100;

Is this documented anywhere? Is Adobe aware? What a stupid limitation. Thanks 
for sharing the code.

Re: [Flashcoders] Textformat size ignores anything over 96

2007-01-09 Thread Marcelo Volmaro
As far as i know, no, is not documented. Is adobe aware? It should,  
because i reported that. But i also reported some other problems a long  
time ago (when flash 8 saw the light) and they still exist on flash 9, so  
better go with the code i provided :).
