Wow, this concept for a workaround is so simple and genius at the same time. This is a very smart solution for a problem I was struggeling already for a long time for data driven MOGRTs. Thanks 1.000.000 times!

in order to get line spacing to work as expected, I had to change: text.sourceText.style.setFontSize(textSize / s).setLeading(textSize * lineHeight * s); to text.sourceText.style.setFontSize(textSize / s).setAutoLeading(false).setLeading(textSize * (lineHeight / s));

I just hope the Adobe Ae team make this text box available to access in expressions!

@jamesjosephides Год назад

Thanks so much for this! So very helpful. Is there any way to make the alignment fix to the corner? So the position of the autoscale stays within a corner frame?

It still pisses me off that we don't get expression support for text boxes by Adobe. It's just a goddamn box, how hard is it to implement?
