We added the class into our Temple Library:

One other suggestion.. This class is great not just for input text, but for dynamic text that is only set once, like item titles or descriptions. I modified your constructor to add a willUpdate boolean property, then I only add the event listeners if the textfield is meant to be updated more than once.

This looks great. One question though, how do you use it? Would you need some sort of global variable and do var tf: AutomaticFontSizeBehaviour = new AutomaticFontSizeBehaviour(myTextField); ?

Thanks!

Thanks!

Maybe it would be nice that an update woudn't be exucuted if there is no text change… it gets fired 3 times for every keystroke…

I fixed your copy-paste thing!!!

Just add:

_textField.addEventListener(TextEvent.TEXT_INPUT,update);

And it will work!

Thanks! Do you have any idea how to solve the copy paste thing? The only thing I can come up with is overwriting the setter 'text' in textfield, which is a bit dirty…?

@Thijs Textfields do dispatch Keyboard Events, this is done by the InteractiveObject class and it's the super of TextField.

@JanKees Nice! Added the class to my repos ;)

Like Thijs said it would be nice if it will work with 'copy-paste'. I tried it @ the demo you showed me yesterday and it didn't work.

VET VET VET!!!!

Really nice. I am definitely going to use this.

But I didn't know TextFields dispatches KeyBoardEvents? I thought only the Stage does it. Maybe you should also listen to the flash.events.TextEvent.TEXT_INPUT event?

Does it work when I do 'copy-paste'?
