Hi Joel, Jonathan anf Dave for your answers
Dave could you explain what you mean with a binary search ?

Text flow of variable-width fonts with word-wrapping is inherently
messy... there's no way to compute the number of lines with some nice
math, you just have to run the text-flow machinery and measure the
result, which is exactly what you have suggested. I'm pretty certain
there is nothing built into flash or flex to choose a font size for
you automatically.
My only suggestion is a speed optimization: use a binary search
instead of trying every font size.

I'm talking about font size, not stretching a container.
Increasing / decreasing font size to get an optimal fill of a box
which will have a fixed width and a certain height which can only
be determined during load time.
I could increase the font size of a textfield in a loop and
measure it's height on every point increase; when it overflows my
wanted box-height I take the font size of the previous step.
Is there an easier way ?

Sounds like a bad design decision to make titles of the same
category various sizes. But I think you can just set the
.width property, then set the .scaleY equal to the .scaleX or
visa versa depending on which dimension is more important.

I need to place project-titles in a multiline textfield, wherof
the width will be fixed, but sometimes this box might be of
less
height because of more space used by other displaying project
elements.
Is there a class that can dynamically regulate the font
it's size
to fit the loaded text to a certian textfield height of a
multile
textfield?
The project titles are variable in character word length.
How is
this solvable.
Thanks !
