I’m not quite sure what you mean, but you could detect when the image is scaled higher, then just redraw the text at that zoom level. Since the text is vectorized, it will render clearly when zoomed in (as shown when you run the demo in vector mode).

Really interested, do you know a way to make this but the textSize of the text change (up when the textfield is bigger) ?

Awesome man. I love the internet cause I can find older posts like this that are absolute lifesavers. So awesome.

It’s just a demo and it includes source. If you know enough to write your own tweens then you know enough to comment out tweenmax and replace it with your own.
Besides, the most important part of it is the code snippet I wrote in the post itself.

i tried downloading the file and as I run it, it says it needed the tweenmax… I dont have tween max and I don’t like using tweenmax basically because I would like doing it myself supposed to be… could you provide a code without the use of tweenmax…tnaks in advance

Instead of turning your text into a bitmap (which will still look terrible when scaled to a larger size) you could have just turned the anti-alias from readability to animation. This solves this problem in most cases.

russdogg: I tried embedding the font but that didn't seem to solve anything. Let me know if you get it working though, I'd like to know how you did it. Lee: I use SWFobject to embed all of my Flash thingies, and that's what overcomes that little click-to-activate "feature" some browsers use.
