Yes but...

In my case I can have scaleX > 1000, so I loose too much quality with this
method.

I'm triing to embbed fonts outlines in my TextTield but the result is not very
good (bad antialiasing). I guest that I have no other choice :)

Thanks again,

Don't use scaleX or width/height modifications.

Use transformation matrices.

I have an application that allows the user to scale, rotate, move (unconstrained and constrained) a TextField (flash and flex) without problems.

The only issues are with the fact that there's a bug in the Flash Player with certain settings on the antialiasing - which causes the kerning of the text field to jump around wildly.

In my case since this bug rears it's ugly head when text fields are rotated or scaled, I apply the transformations to the type and re- render the result back into a BitmapData object with the new dimensions of the field.
