Hi guys,  
I’ve made this code:

```auto
var txt:TextField = new TextField();
var frmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
txt.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
frmt.font = "Arial";
frmt.size = 800;
frmt.color = 0xFF00FF;
txt.defaultTextFormat = frmt;
txt.text = "TRY WITH THIS";

```

I’ve seen aroud the web flash websites with text bigger than the max flash dimension of 72 pt. How can i make that? I’ve tried with the code above but it seems that flash set the text size to 72…please help me!!! :ne:
