Hi,

Using the tutorial for the [Digital Clock](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/digital_clock.htm) I have created my own date viewer.

However, because the text boxes are dynamic, I cannot edit the horizontal spacing of the font.

I wish my date to look like the image below but as I cannot edit the horizonatal spacing, I cannot squeeze the letters together.

Is there another way of doing this?

Thanks in advance.
