Here my first tip for Flex developers. Maybe many of you know, maybe it will be helpful for someone. If you want make custom component, let’s say “Message dialog” which should be resized according text, nothing is easier. Just use mx:Text, not mx:TextArea. mx:Text has ability to resize according its text property. If you don’t specify widht and height, width and height i resized for mx:Text. If you specify one property (width or height), second one will be resized when text will be longer. For mx:TextArea just scrollbars will appear.

hi,
Is there a maximum fontSize that can be displayed in a Text Component (or TextField, TextArea, etc)? Because whenever I try to display a font size greater than 150, the size doesn’t change. Any help with this would be very appreciated. I’ve searched around some and I’m not seeing much written on it. I’ve tried this with both embedded and non embedded fonts.
thanks.
Diego
