Can I Make Font SIze Respond to Container Resize?

Question

I have a JDialog.
I added a JPanel as the content pane.
I use a GridBagLayout for all JPanels.
The content pane also has a ComponentListener, and I use its componentResize () method to sense when user drags the Dialog to a new size.
There are two sub JPanels, and one of them uses a CardLayout to conrol a set of other JPanels.
All the JPanels have a collection of JTextFields and JComboBoxes that is determined at run time.
My goal is to permit resizing to any size and keeping all components visible and fonts readable.
That means controlling the font size.
Getting a ratio from the requested size change and applying it to change the font size of all components almost works. Its good for all increases up to full screen. However I lose it on the way down. The panels shrink more than the font shrinks the fields and boxes.
The Title and other insets prevent it from being perfect. There is also some slippage from JComboBox having an independent JTextField editor component. Their heights often are inconsistent, i.e. the JComboBox height ends less than the preferred size of its editor component.
And, if not careful the componentResize ()degenerates into an infinite loop, i.e. I change the font and then pack () which triggers another call to resize.
Anyway, does anyone know of a model for this problem.
My goal is for it to stay consistent no matter how small it is shrunk.

Hi Mike,
That's right, MultiTouch and Gestures can not be used at the same time, but you should always be able to receive mouse events for 1st touch point.
Could you try changing your code as below.
function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
TweenLite.to(mainMenu.menuPres, .2, {alpha:.5});
function mouseUpHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
TweenLite.to(mainMenu.menuPres, .2, {alpha:1});
please sprinkle some trace statements in event handler to see if they get triggered.
Also, did you try just adding event listener for MouseEvent.CLICK, instead of MOUSE_DOWN and MOUSE_UP.
-Thanks
