AS3 - Changing size of Label on Button component

I would like to increase the size of the label on a Button in flash. The label seems to only be about 3/4 the width and 3/4 the height of the button. I would like to make the label be the full width and height of the button.

The label field is just a string, and changing the width/height on the textField property of the button does not seem to change anything. Also textFormat doesn't have options for changing text width/height.

I'm out of ideas. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Solution

  • The only way I know is to do it via code.

            var myTextFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
        myTextFormat.size = 20
        var myButton:Button = new Button();
        myButton.label = "Click Me";
        myButton.setStyle("textFormat", myTextFormat);
        myButton.setSize(120, 60);
        myButton.x = 0;
        myButton.y = 0;
        addChild(myButton);
