Input text boxes & kerning & leading

greetings!

i was hoping that someone might have an answer to my question. is there ANY way to dynamically change the kerning of an input box? i’d like to give users the ability to modify the kerning of my .swf file. i know flash allows you to change properties like font size, colour, alignment, etc., but i can’t find a way to change the kerning property. i don’t even think one exists for them. so is there any kind of work around to this?

also, is there any reason why i can’t use negative values for leading for the input box? it only allows me to use positive numbers when i try to change it dynamically… but when i’m in flash, i can use positive and negative values… weird! thanks :slight_smile:
