Hi all!

I am working on a flash now which contains a Movieclip(object) that has a textfield in it. I need to scale up the text that is being displayed so I tried to scale up the object.\_xscale and .\_yscale. I can see the clip being scaled up but the text field remains the same size.

I would like to know if it is possible to find the child of the object as I do not have a way to get to the textfield’s name.

Ultimately I just need to scale the text so that it is bigger. Is there anyway to do this?

Thanks!
