Font Size

[pardoner]

Any reason why my font size won't go past 150px (or somewhere around that)




_slideNumberText = new TextField();
_slideNumberText.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
_slideNumberText.embedFonts = true;
_slideNumberText.selectable = false;

var embededFont:Font = new HelveticaBold();
var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format.font = embededFont.fontName;
format.size = 500; // THIS DOESN'T MAKE THE FONT 500px. IT'S MORE LIKE 150px
format.color = Settings.color1;
_slideNumberText.defaultTextFormat = format;
_slideNumberText.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
_slideNumberText.text = "2";
addChild(_slideNumberText);

maybe you try textField.setTextForm(myformat)

No that didn't work. Ahh! There's nothing more frustrating that dealing with TextFields!!
