Text scaling/resizing?

So when I format all my text in Iweb it's perfect, however when I veiw it in safari or Chrome the text gets all messed up. The reason for this is because when the browser is zoomed in or out it reformats and enlarges or shrinks the text.
is there someway I can lock the text so it can't resize the text in a browser?
(hold command + or - to zoom in or out on a browser)

You can convert the text boxes and text to image files by applying an drop shadow with 5% opacity.
Click to view full size
However, there are two downsides to this: 1- the text will not be available to search engines and: 2-the image files will take longer to load than just text and that can impact the loading speed of the page.

How can I get just the text to resize, rather than the entire web page?

I used to be able to re-size just text on a webpage by typing Ctrl + +. Today, the entire webpage re-sizes, and when I move to another page it reverts. (I see this mostly in Facebook.). Why did this change, and can I go back to having just the text re-size?

Text field RESIZE disappears in Safari 4 and 4.0.1 after browsing awhile

A most useful feature in Safari is the ability to resize a multi-line Text Field in a form (such as the one this question/comment is input)
I have found that after browsing awhile this ability and the 3 diagonal lines in the lower right corner of such a field disappear on most sites. To get it back I have to quit and restart Safari. Something turns it off and keeps it off. This has happened on sites like Amazon, Facebook, Goodreads, phpBB forums etc. I works on all these sites, eg, I go elsewhere, return to said site and it no longer works.
Could a site turn off this behavior and keep it off or is this a Safari bug? How can I keep this feature from disappearing?
TIA,
Bill

Hi Bill
The text box resize is part of Safari's application code. Use Safari from another User Account (if necessary, you can create one in System Preferences>Accounts). Log-on to the other account and open Safari.
If the same problem occurs there, I suggest reinstalling Safari. Otherwise, the problem is specific to your regular user account. In that case, go to the Finder: Your User Account>Library>Preferences file. There, move the com.apple.safari.plist file to the trash, then restart Safari. This resets Safari Preferences to default values. Make sure you restore any custom settings in Safari Preferences, or in the View Menu, or your Toolbar.

How do I stop text from resizing to the size of the browser window

Hello there,
I am using a DW CS3 template that has a sidebar div and a
main content div - the text in the main content div keeps resizing
to the size of the browser window - I don't want the text to resize
if I make the browser window smaller - I want it to remain the
same. I am trying to float the text right and input a width but
this is not working for me. What am I doing wrong?
HELP!
Many thanks!

>>What am I doing wrong?
Not giving us a link to the uploaded page so we can see the
page, how it
behaves and the actual code.
Until we see that you are unlikely to get a definitive
answer. The problem
is unlikely as you state it because text itself is never
dependant on the
browser viewport size.

Dynamic character count info as text box resizes

Not knowing Javascript, does anyone think this is scriptable?
When clicked inside a text box the info panel tells you how many characters are in view in that text box and how many are overset... it doesn't however display that info if you are resizing a text box by dragging one of the handles... do you think there may be a way of getting it or having onother info panel that displays how many character are inside the text box and how many are overset and it dynamically changes the read out as the user resizes the text box.
Regards, Tim

I don't think Javascript can do stuff "dynamically" -- you'd have to press a button to get the updated values. This sort of things is possible with InDesign, but it'd require writing a full plugin. Writing plugins is not for the meek, the faint-hearted, or the kind of people that enjoy their sanity.
(OTOH I've been wrong a few times: APID, Rorohiko's script extensions -- http://www.rorohiko.com/ -- can perform a few tricks that used to be plugin-only. Check their website to see if there is something that sounds like your request.)

Dynamic Text Boxes / Resizing text boxes

I have a site with a dynamic text box that I have initialized
(I'm not sure that that is the correct term) at the beginning with:
myText = new LoadVars();
myText.onLoad = function()
{ textBox_txt.htmlText = this.content;
myText.load("text/bio.txt");
stop();
Then I have just used a text box throughout with the same
instance name, although sometimes I have it on a new keyframe. I
assumed I could just keep loading text into it on different frames
with:
stop();
myText.load("text/performances.txt");
This appears to be working, except that sometimes it seems to
be confused and the text box on a certain frame has the wrong text
in it. Do I have to initialize one for each frame in order for them
to display the right code? What could be causing it to load another
text file if it's frame action is telling it to load something
else? It seems unnecessary to have to re-initialize it for a new
text box instance in every new frame, but is that the way it has to
be done?
Also, I'm not clear on resizing text boxes. It seems like if
I use the width and height numbers to resize this text box on
different pages then it changes the size of the text inside, and
the scroll bar (the UIScrollbar) is a little squishy looking
sometimes. How does this work?
Thanks for any help.

You will find it much better to create a new LoadVars object
for each of the frames, just call them myText1 myText2 etc.
The name of the text box instance in this case is irrelevant
but best practice would be to give them individual names.
As for the stretching effect use setSize() for UI
components.

Dynamic Text and Resizing Images Inside

Hello.
FYI: I'm following the Flash Blogger tutorials listed on
http://www.indextwo.net with
Flash 8.
I've noticed that everything works wonderfully as far as
bringing the blog content into the dynamic text field; however, my
only problem at the moment is while Blogger will automatically
resize my images, so it doesn't mess up the current template in
html, but of course, Flash does not (out of the box).
I need a way to define the width & height of the images in
the text field to fit inside the dynamic text field they're in.
As far as I can tell, the tutorials listed on that site use an
alternate method and don't actually resize them. They just make a
link to them.
Lastly, I thought about using CSS in Flash to adjust the img
size, but from what I gather there are very few items at my
disposal.
Does anyone have a solution?
Thank you.

Scaling / Resizing Catalyst Components in Builder

Hi,
I'm looking at setting up the proper workflow for a large project. We envision multiple developers and multiple designers on the project.
The major sticking point now is scaling and resizing the components generated by Catalyst once they're in Builder. One would think that once you've skinned, for example, a scrollbar in Catalyst that you could then resize it in Builder to match different layouts.
However, as I suspect you already know, the sizes do not change at all in Builder.
We can get into the source code in builder and add in a bunch of width/height = 100% attributes, but these break down at the point that there are Paths defined in the code. The Path elements would need to be re-coded to scale.
So, I really have two questions:
1) What exactly does "Convert to Optimized Graphic" do? Will this recreate all Paths to standard shapes that will scale?
2) Is there a better system coming in the next Beta? If so, can you describe it a bit?
Thanks a lot,
Kirk

This morning I sat down to use catalyst for the first time. I am preparing for a talk at Flash on The Beach in Brighton this year and I was hoping to be able to show how a view build in Catalyst could be injected into an app using Robotlegs.
I watched http://tv.adobe.com/watch/adc-presents/create-spark-component-skins-using-flash-catalyst and thought that looked cool.
I also watched http://tv.adobe.com/watch/flash-catalyst-cs5-feature-tour/sending-your-project-to-a-develo per, and saw the component library output looked awesome.
So I started to build an interface, first by creating a custom button component (much like the first video) and then distributing those buttons in a completely custom button holder component. It is this button holder that would be injected, and in the holder each button would have an id so that references to them could be obtained after injection into the application.
From the videos above this looked eminently doable and quite a good workflow. Designer design and layout components that get built into a library, and developers use those components in an application without actually recoding the components.
This sounded great, but imagine my dissapointment when I discovered
1) A custom component can not be resized in the design view of Catalyst - you have to create another component class with a different size!
2) A component/skin developed in Catalyst can not even resize when imported into Flash Builder unless you recode it.
3) You can't name instances of components in the design view.
So my plan was completely foiled. I mean, surely a button skin/component can not be considered a button skin/component unless it can be resized!
I like Flex and I think Flex 4 is a big step forward, however I have never met a designer who liked it. Designers cannot effectively layout applications themselves using Flex. In fact where I work they are pushing to prevent ANY future flex development because of the problems with designers not being able to do this (we make and maintain some very highly skinned Flex 3 applications). I am the only front end Flex developer there and anytime I start to develop in Flex it is seen as very awkward and a problem.
I hoped that Catalyst would solve some of these problems, but it unfortunately fails dismally because of the above problems that I mentioned.
These three things would go a long way to improving developer design workflow for Flex and Catalyst. Any ideas for if/when this functionality might be included?

Problem in layout when scaling/resizing

Hi,
Does anyone knows how I can solve present on the image?
[http://paginas.fe.up.pt/~jgonca/screenshot.png]
Here goes the detailed info:
- What you see in the little window is a 3x3 XGrid (JFXtras), where I placed 4 black resizable rectangles that fill the cells where they are located;
- The gauge that you can see in the center is from the MemeFX library ( [http://code.google.com/p/memefx/] ). If you don't know the library, the gauges were created in inkscape or illustrator and were exported to fxz files. In this example, the gauge suffered a scaling to 0.5 either in width and height using scaleX and scaleY vars;
- In the command line, you can see the 3 bound types from the gauge;
- In the javaFX code I tried to override the layoutInfo variable to see if the gauge layoutbounds changed, but my attempt was unsuccessfull.
The problem is that the gauge layoutBounds and BoundsinLocal are not being updated, causing the visible white space around the gauge, since the layout manager (XGrid) thinks that the gauge still has 280x200.84 px.

I already reduced the white space a bit by placing the gauge in a group, but the best solution was to eliminate the white space at all...

Jframe text scaling

Hi,
I would be very grateful for some help. I need to create window with some text inside (given size). This text have to be centered horizontally and vertically. After window is resized it should scale respectively.

This one I hope will satisfy requirements ;) So the question is:
How do I make this text scale with window when it is resized?
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Test extends JFrame {
public void text(){
int fontSize = 32;
setLayout(new BorderLayout());
JLabel label = new JLabel("KONIEC");
label.setFont(new Font("Helvetica", Font.BOLD, fontSize));
label.setVerticalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER);
label.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER);
add(label, BorderLayout.CENTER);
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setVisible(true);
pack();
public static void main(String args[]){
new Test().text();

Constant text image resizing

Having recently purchased a 17 inch Macbook Pro - I find a very irritating problem with now using Safari -
Constant and uncontrolled resizing of text and images on Safari pages - This , clearly associated with trackpad use , however I am unable to intentionally resize or return page to original resolution without quitting Safari . I am not making any deliberate or coordinated trackpad moves to cause this .... similar problem with Desktop resolution and icon size preferences .
Anyone else experience this situation? Any ideas on what is going on here . This is a very irritating bug.
David

Hi David
it sounds as if the 'pinch' gesture or similar is set to zoom - you can look in System Preferences-Trackpad to see what the current config is. I think that may be the default (mine's older & doesn't have some options).

Indesign CS 5.5 & CS 6 Text Frame Resize Crushing app

I have a document that crushes indesgn CS5 & CS 6 when trying to resize a text frame. I have tried to export the document to IDML and it crushes. I can't even export to PDF.
This is an annual report which needs to go for printing in 24hours. I have tried to get support from Adobe and currently wondering what is the next step for our group of companies affected by this huge mess.
My TS case no is 183647068.

We're just ordinary users, like you.
When things go this badly south I would try exporting each story to InDesign Tagged Text (and if that also fails, Try RTF), then place the exported stories into a new file.
When all else fails, there's markzware: Bad InDesign or Quark File Recovery Submission Form

Text scaling

My knowledge on vectoring is not good, and I think this is the issue. But need some help trying to understand text. I understand that it's bitmap based not vector and therefore can become pixelated if text is reduced/enlarged. I've heard (correct me if I'm wrong) that text can be vectored in potoshop (like Illustrator) so that the document's text will come out razor sharp at whatever size the document is printed at. If so, how do I do this exactly?
Thanks

Dougnik12 wrote:
"It will be in vector form until you deliberately Rasterize it."
Yes I understand it's fully scalable until you Save it (is this what Rasterize means?), but what is the point of photoshop then converting it to bitmap, is there anyway the vector text can be maintained upon saving, because the quality reduces as soon as you save, or should I be looking at Illustrator to do the text properly?
Rasterize is an option in the Layers drop down menu... it converts a vector object to a bitmap object. (In this case, your text.)You may need to do this – rasterize – for several reasons, including using certain filters or creating certain effects. If you don't need to rasterize the text, leave it as it is.
As long as you don't convert the text layer by rasterizing, it will remain a vector and stay editable (and infinitely scalable) no many how many times you save the file as a PSD (Photoshop file). The moment you save as a .tiff, .jpg, etc the text gets rasterized and as no longer editable in that file.
Hope that explains it....

Scaling/resizing images in slideshow

Hi,
I did my own website and now I'm doing my gf's website.
Note that I'm doing exactly the same than for my site but I have a problem now that I never had with my site.
My problem is this :
I place a new slideshow. When you resize the main image, your image is getting bigger with the frame that you're enlarging. I did it for my site because I wanted bigger images than how it comes when you place the slideshow. It worked.
Now it doesn't work for her site. So my solution was to copy the slideshow that I like from my site to her site. When i add her images in the slideshow, they are smaller than mine but my image is 1068x715 px and her image is 1032x709 px. So the size is quite the same but her image is really smaller.
I insert here 4 printscreens :
01 is the one with my image
02 is the one with her image (in the same slideshow, as you can see it's smaller)
03 and 04 are printscreens to show that these images are quite the same size.
01
02
03
04
Thanks for your help

Fix text scaling on Youtube?

Hi Firefox Support! I have a 3k monitor on my Laptop and Youtube has really small text on its UI. This doesn't happen to me on any other browsers like Chrome and IE. Is there a way to fix it or do I wait for an update?
Thanks! I have a sample photo below.

Is the video and other parts of the page the same size as normal? It's possible the page could be zoomed out. Try resetting the zoom by clicking on the three-bar menu icon in the top right. You should see + and – signs with a percentage in the middle. Try clicking on that percentage to reset the zoom.
