Allowing users to change menu button text size...

I've been working for days, trying to come up with some solution to this. It's not a necessary feature for my upcoming website, but it would be nice because of the older age folks who might have trouble seeing some of the text. I've tried this:

on (press) {
myTextFormat = new TextFormat();
myTextFormat.size = 14;
scroller.setTextFormat(myTextFormat);
}

No luck with it, as it seems to have no effect on dynamic textfields within buttons. I've also tried:

on (press) {
dropdownmov.var4 = "<font face=\"Arial\" size=\"12\"> var4 </font>";
}


This changes the button text size, but unfortunately it takes the var4 variable and just uses its name instead of using the text that the variable actually holds. I don't know, it'd be cool if someone had some new ideas or whatever because I'm at the end of my rope on this one.

it makes sense that
would ouput "var4", because it's inside the quotes. Try:


Another thought: on the first part, where you have: scroller.setTextFormat(myTextFormat);
wouldn't you need to reference the text field inside the button, so you would need:
buttonname.scroller.setTextFormat(myTextFormat);
?
