Well i have basically 2 input boxes, one is small and one is very big which has a scrollbar next to it. But for some reason, when you type text into the big input box, the text typed is size 20 around there; even though i have set the text size to be only 10. Its also on multiline so everything should be fine but i don’t know why its not working?! Is there something i have to change? And another quesiton, is will the scrollbar automatically be scrollable if too much text is entered? or do i have to put in some actionscript to make it do that…thx:) ---

yea i thought my question wasn’t put very well… ok so i will try to say it again… I have a BIG input box, which allows ppl to type text in. This input box has the textsize set to 10. But when i type text in it, it looks like its size 30 or something. That is basically my first question. Oh yea i forgot to say it has multiline set for the inputbox already, so i’m still not sure why the text looks like size 30. And for question two… I have a scrollbar for the same input box, and if too much text is entered into the input box, the scrollbar should work. And so, do i need some actionscript for the scrollbar to work, or just leave it as it is?! Question 2 isnt’ as important at the moment…thx 🙂 i hope that was more understandable ---

nope, with transform you just change the size INCLUDING the content of it… so dont use the transform button you should do it like this: select the text tool, set it to INPUT, and drag a square witht he tool… there ya have it, a bigger box 😉 ---
