TextField Issues When Scaling (Cannot Keep Text Aligned) about nme HOT 5 CLOSED

It looks like on Flash, as you resize the stage, the TextField's width and height are affected, whereas in NME, the height and width do not change. This could be part of the problem.

Alright so I have a in-progress hack solution here: https://github.com/JandyCo/nme/tree/text-scale-alignment

I just wanted to commit this so that there is some documentation of what I've been doing and others can look into it. Possibly @hughsando and @jgranick ? But I will look into it more tonight and tomorrow.

• Width and Height are not reported properly with textboxes. Right now I've just hacked this to be close by returning textWidth and textHeight.
  • I will probably look at this more soon.
• GetExtent seems to be the real culprit of this issue.
  • In particular the portion that I commented out here: https://github.com/JandyCo/nme/compare/text-scale-alignment#diff-a47bca31932f06b02baa285e78c693bfR1570
  • Again this is just early tests and im going to look into this more.
• Made the gfx dirty at the end of ::Layout so that the background would be drawn correctly.
• Builds on the text-clipping PR, #135

It seems nme has mixed up scaleX and scaleY somewhere.
Flash seems to ignore scaleX for text boxes.
Using textWidth instead of width is only really meaningful with autosize - have to investigate what happens without this set. Also, with embedFonts, a more normal transform is allowed.
I have been thinking about redoing the way clipping happens (not using a viewport, but instead a set of tiles/quads) to allow non-orthogonal transforms.

I created a pull request with a cleaned up version of some of the changes I made reference in this issue. I don't know if you want to merge this in the meantime or if you have a fix in mind that you would like to perform.

#139

I have implemented the scaling changes. It should be very similar to flash now when the scaleX=scaleY. When they differ, flash does some strange stuff which I'm not sure I want to emulate.
