Okay, I was a little too quick. As I reread your request, you're looking
for a way to grow and shrink the text without changing the rect of the
field, correct?
I think your only other option is to have a blank line (containing a
space, or maybe empty would work) at the top of each menu field, and let
that first line grow and shrink in the opposite direction of the rest of
the text, so the text remains centered vertically in the field. However,
I messed around with that idea for a few minutes and was not able to
make it work as well as the 'grow/shrink field' approach.
You could indeed kluge it together by having your menu text in
borderless transparent fields that sit on top of fields with visible
borders. That would give you the visual effect I think you're after.

Hi Bob -
See if this slightly modified version of your script gives you what you
want:
on mouseEnter
set the defaultCursor to hand
put the loc of the target into tLoc
repeat with i = 1 to 4
lock screen
set the textSize of target to (the textSize of target + 1)
set the height of the target to the formattedHeight of the target
set the loc of the target to tLoc
unlock screen
wait for .02 seconds
end repeat
put flushEvents("all") into temp
end mouseEnter
on mouseLeave
put the loc of the target into tLoc
repeat with i = 1 to 4
lock screen
set the textSize of target to (the textSize of target - 1)
set the height of the target to the formattedHeight of the target
set the loc of the target to tLoc
unlock screen
wait for .02 seconds
end repeat
set the textSize of target to the ATT_defaultSize of target
set the defaultCursor to arrow
put flushEvents("all") into temp
end mouseLeave

I have a group of flds that I'm using as a menu with a simple
animation that grows the size of text when rolled over, and shrinks
the size of text (back to the original) when the mouse leaves. The
problem is that the text does not stay vertically aligned in the fld,
so the appearance is the text grows down rather than grows centered.
I can kluge the size of the fld to make it look right, but..........
Any ideas ??
Script at the group is:
on mouseEnter
set the defaultCursor to hand
repeat with i = 1 to 4
set the textSize of target to (the textSize of target + 1)
wait for .02 seconds end repeat
put flushEvents("all") into temp
end mouseEnter
on mouseLeave
repeat with i = 1 to 4
set the textSize of target to (the textSize of target - 1) wait
for .02 seconds
end repeat
set the textSize of target to the ATT_defaultSize of target
set the defaultCursor to arrow
put flushEvents("all") into temp
end mouseLeave
Tnx, Bob...
