If you cann't know how much the textfied has been scaled, maybe you could use localToGlobal() and globalToLocal(). If you get the global values of (0,0) and (textfield._width, textfield._height), you will can know how much the textfield has been scaled. This is just a guess, but I think it will

cacheAsBitmap will rasterise all vectors every time you scale or rotate a clip. the superCacheAsBitmap draws an MC to a bitmap object which is then scaled and rotated... thus not needing to re-cache to bitmap every frame. Arse www.snepo.com www.arseiam.com On 21/03/2007, at 10:28 AM,
