How to change text size in Flash-generated charts

[leenwebb]

Hi all,
Is there a way to change the text size in the Flash-generated charts in the Dashboard section? On all of our monitors it is teensy-tiny. Even us young whippersnappers think it's too small -- it looks like about 8pt.

I have Flash, and have tried to open the .fla files, but they just open up blank. Admittedly, I know hardly anything about Flash, but I couldn't see anything to edit.

Thoughts?
Thanks!

They are actually not blank, there's Actionscript in there! Click on the first box in the timeline at the top - it should contain a lower case "a." Next, click on the "actions" tab at the bottom. If it's not there, open it with Windows > Actions.

In the Actionscript, there are several lines that look similar to this:

defaultFormat.size = 10;

Change the sizes to the size you want. I haven't tested this out myself with the SugarCRM charts, but this is how you would normally change font size in FLA files.

Yee-ha! I was thinking I would be doomed to tiny text forever. Thanks for the advice -- I will try it forthwith!

(Actionscript! Who knew? All I ever use Flash for is to draw those pretty self-regulating curvy lines.)
