- v0.1 - includes the basic ideas behind the Flash Font Resizer
- v0.2 - Two swf approach to cater for full screen Flash
- v0.3 - Two swf approach to cater for full screen Flash and pre-set font size settings
- v0.4 - One swf approach to avoid relying on local connection function. Not working in Firefox
What's new in version 0.5?
Flash Font Resizer version 2.3 is a return to an older version 0.3 using two Flash movies.
Ideally I would have had one Flash movie as per version 2.2 so the measuring function was within the main SWF while a second measuring SWF could be used if full screen Flash was needed. This, however, did not work in Firefox without the use of wmode: transparent, which is not ideal as it interfers with screen readers.
So I have reverted to the two Flash approach.
I have updated the actionscript to use CSS to re-format the text size allowing the full flexibility of CSS in Flash.
And finally the actionscript has default font sizes in case the local connection is not working.
