Example

It requires Tweener at the moment, but i plan on refactoring it to allow you to pass the tweening in your preferred class (though promoting the use of Tweener isn’t a bad thing in my opinion).

How to instantiate and use the class

// import the class
import com.paperclipped.text.TextResizer;
 
// make an new instance of it 'this' refers to the stage in this example, but could be any DisplayObject.
var myResizer:TextResizer = new TextResizer("all the words i really wanted to deal with at the moment", this, {t:0, r:stage.stageWidth, b:stage.stageHeight, l:0});
 
// to change the size of the text, +/- change in point size, easing style, speed, and optionally a delay for a ripple effect
myResizer.resizeText(6, 'easeoutquad' ,0.5, 0.08);

It’s pretty short and simple but a neat ‘discovery’ for your users when the need a closer look at some text that was spec’d a little too small for them Download the TextResizer Source. There are also settings for tracking [letterSpacing across the whole string] and wordspacing that can be optionally defined. And if you just need to resize the text and have it bounce down instantly you can leave out the time, or easing type parts and just use:

myResizer.resizeText(-6);
