Changing text size

1

Aiight, I have a box that when rolled over, I want some text over to the left to increase. Say I have a dynamic text that says “computers”. Now when you roll over that box, I want “computers” to increase to size 28. How would I do that?

on (rollOver){
_root.computers.textsize = 28;
}

it would be something like this, if only textsize was an option.
Thanks

ok. i looked in the AS Dictionary and there isnt anything that i saw to do this. So all i can say is, make an MC with 2 frames, the normal text size frame and the smaller text size frame. have a stop(); function in the first frame too. Then on the button have it play the mc.

that should do the trick…

Availability

Hey mdipi,

You can’t use TextFormat.size without setting up a new TextFormat object, so it should look like:

linkFormat = new TextFormat();
linkFormat.size = 28
my_txt.setTextFormat(linkFormat);

Tell me how it goes,
