    scale movie + text

    Hi,

    Is there a way to publish your flash movie so it is scaled when the browser is scaled but with the text kept at 9pt all the time (my text is in the device font tahoma)? I use static text now.

    Thanx
    Stanno

    It is possible to do that, but it would most likely be a big hassle. You would have to have the text in a movieclip or something and whenever the movie is resized the movieclip with the text would resize itself in the opposite direction. So if the movie increased in size 5%, then the movieclip would decrease in size 5%. This would keep the font appearing as 9 point all of the time.

    Generally speaking, it's not a good idea to be scaling your movies anyway as it will give your flash a performance hit. The larger it's scaled the bigger the hit.
