Programming: Flash: Kerning Dynamic Text Fields

Thanks to Random, I whipped up this function that allows you to set the kerning value of any dynamic text field in actionscript.


function kernText(whichField, kerning)
{
    whichField.html = true;
   
    var newFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
    newFormat.letterSpacing = kerning;
    //newFormat.font = "Arial";
   
    whichField.setTextFormat(newFormat);
}
