Might be getting you wrong, but I think you are almost there already? Instead of using the clip to manipulate the scale of the text, how about trying to manipulate the TextFormat.letterSpacing? I haven't tested it, but I think it should do the trick?

Hello, I'm working on a small interactive with a text manipulation/effect. There is a clip on stage that the user drags from right to left, and as they drag, a text field appears on screen (by scaling from a width of 0 to 100% - effectively stretching out to full width) following the dragging clip. Here is a link http://www.yourfilehost.com/media.php?cat=swf&file=728x90.swf So what I now need to do is have all the letters at full scale and piled on top of each other to begin with, then just drag them out into a full sentence (not just having the whole sentence as one clip that scales according to the position of the drag clip - as it currently does). Anyone seen any source that does a similar thing to this. Thanks._______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
