Does Scaling Work ???

Using r146.

I just cannot see how text is scaled and after searching the forums I'm not sure this is possible. The tutorials say set the scale of a layer to 0 but I have tried that and many different values and they have no effect whatsoever.

I have also set the Parallax of the layer to 0,0.

Can someone tell me if scaling text is possible like on a HUD or am I chasing my tail here?

Set the font size in relation to the scale.

Resizing a text object probably just resizes the boundaries of the text.

Thanks for the quick response but I don't understand what "Set the font size in relation to the scale" means. Can you explain further?

Just to let you know I just want to have readable text on an iPhone and iPad.
