HELP - resizing a dynamic text box on the fly??

[PaulSpitzer]

I am duplicating MCs and positioning them horizontally across the screen. Each MC has a textfield within it that gets set to a different value each time a new MC is created. I'm having a problem with getting the MCs to be evenly spaced. Flash takes the total size of the textfield and uses it for the width of the movie as opposed to the actual length of the text within the field. Creating the illusion of uneven spacing. I tryed to set the textfield to extending but it doesn't extend on the fly.

any ideas?

thx,

Paul

You can use the string width calculator from here:
