Scaled Text.... 1

[brutteforcce]

If I scalled a text how can I make it like it was, with the original size of the font that it has.

Undo (Ctrl/Cmd - Z)?

Well, I don't want it to be like it was , I want it to have a font size that is appropiated with the scalled text and I don't scale just text.

Now you're confusing me.

Do you mean you want the font size to be changed from 24 to 12 if you scale the TextField down 50% like in Photoshop/Illustrator? Flash is not for static output like PS/AI therefore the font size and the scale are completely unrelated properties - quite rightly so.

Yes, that's what I wanted to say... How can I change the font size through Action Script?

You can either set TextFormat.size and apply it to the TextField, or use the htmlText <font size='12'>.

How should I apply it? It isn't working like this:
this.createTextField("the_text",this.getNextHighestDepth(),0,0,100,100);
the_text.text = "This is the text";
the_text.TextFormat.size=40;

Try this:

var tfmt = new TextFormat();
tfmt.size = 40;
this.createTextField("the_text", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 0, 0, 100, 100);
the_text.text = "This is the text";
the_text.autoSize = true;
the_text.setTextFormat(tfmt);
