Hey... now that's cool, I didn't realize scale also affects text size.
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; layout=absolute
mx:Script
![CDATA[
private function goBigOrGoHome():void { superSizeButton.scaleX =
superSizeButton.scaleY += .2; }
]]
/mx:Script
mx:Button id=superSizeButton label=SuperSize Me x=10 y=10
click=goBigOrGoHome()/
/mx:Application
Thanks Alex.
