I have a dynamic text box used to load names in, but I need it to shrink the copy size to accommodate larger names within the text box (1800x500) Here is my current code:

> my\_xml = new XML();  
> my\_xml.ignoreWhite = true;  
> //my\_xml.onLoad = function(success:Boolean):Void {  
> // if (success) {  
> // NAME.text = my\_xml.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].toString();  
> // } else {  
> // trace(“Error loading XML.”);  
> // }  
> //};  
> my\_xml.load(“data.xml”);

> my\_xml.onLoad = function(){  
> }

> my\_xml.onLoad = function(){  
> t1 = my\_xml.firstChild.childNodes[0].firstChild;  
> if(t1 == undefined || t1 == null) t1 = “FELICIDADES”;  
> NAME.text = t1; // textfield outputs “test”  
> };

Can anyone figure this out?

Did you change the size of the font associated with the text field in Flash?
