Leading with TLF in AS3

programming flash
1

Hello -

I’m having an issue with leading and the new TLF Textboxes. It doesn’t seem to support negative values like Classic text. Anyone have a solution to this?

This block of code works on Classic Text fine but the leading is looks as if it’s at 0 with TLF Text:

var tf : TextFormat = new TextFormat();
            tf.leading = -10;
            _text.setTextFormat(tf);

I threw this after to see what traces out:

trace (_text.getTextFormat().leading);

and I get -10 it’s just not displaying it :frowning:
