Hi there…

trying to build a Textfield dynamically in AS2/F8. I can’t seem to get the text size to be larger than 127, and I am wondering if there is an upper limit when building them in AS.

I have a class that has the following static method, which works well (for any size less than 127 apparently) If I pass in 200 as my nSize arg, when I trace(t.getTextFormat(0,1).size) i get 127 every time.

 public static function makeTextbox(target, clipName, depth, w,h,fontSymbol, nColor,nSize,txValue){
        var t = target.createTextField(clipName+"-tx",depth,0,0,w,h);
        t.type="dynamic";
        t.embedFonts=true;
            var fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat(); 
            with (fmt) {
              font=fontSymbol;
                color=nColor;
                size=nSize;
        }

        t.setNewTextFormat(fmt);    
        t.text=txValue;            
        return(t);
    }

Any thoughts or is there a hidden rule I don’t know about here?
