I think that Flash loads fonts and linked sounds before doing anything else, like showing a preloader.
This is annoying !

Try to preload a linked sound. It's impossible! Even if you put your sound on scene, once it's linked, it doesn't exist anymore for _totalframes or .getBytesLoaded().

If someone can preload a 1MB...

Does somebody knows a way to resize a text field without streching the letters inside it?

I mean resizing the editable zone of the text field with action script...

Thanks

Hi,

I feel there is a complete section of action scripting that I miss. Isn't there a way to script like object oriented programming?

I saw in the Flash doc something like textfield.scroll......

I have the same problem.

I've tried to resize the text field using Scale, and it scales the entire content, not the editable zone.

Works fine! Thanks!

Thanks Magister!

To clear this all out I've made a very simple test movie:
