I want to format masked, dynamic text at runtime (a font sizing feature for example)

is this possible? i can’t use html formatting on masked dynamic text, because of the need to embed font. (although i just found an example that does just that, no embeding+mask+html formatting… so it is possible??)

I’m trying to use the TextFormat obj, but am having trouble with this too…

I should also add that the text i’m working with is inside dynamically attached, linked movie clips.

Any thoughts? Examples?

I tried search and found nothing on this, btw.

Thanks.
