Stubborn Dynamic Text
I'm, once again, thinking that my problem is easily solved. I'm also hoping this...
(this is in AS 3.0 btw)
I have a dynamic text field, that I am changing as need be, inside a movieclip. Theres no problem in that. Though, when I scale the movieclip, the text will not scale properly.
I, for instance, say: the_mc.scaleY = 0.5;
and the text field acts as though both its scaleY and scaleX to 0.5, thusly refusing to deform and not keeping the same scale in its movieclip.
I want it to scale appropriately. But it wont...
I'm clueless as to why. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
P.S. Did a test with static text. That deforms properly. Just not dynamic text....

I don't think you can scale dynamic text fields dynamically to deform them. You have to scale them proportionately.

when using the dynamic textfield did you make sure to embed the font?

To when I first tried it, by creating it on the stage. No...
Though, now I am creating the text field dynamically. (in as3).
I would think the default font would be already embedded. I may be wrong. Please tell me if so, and what I should do to fix..

Damn. I know you're probably right, that's what I was thinking. But for now I wanna play optimist and try anything I can. Just in case. Thanks though. ^^;;

No Problem.
Sorry i didn't have a better answer for you.
Although I do have a theory. That being that perhaps theres a way to populate a dynamic text field and then render it as a bitmap, then it should scale. Although I'm unsure on this. May be worth looking into though.
