I am using the Simple Skin.
I am displaying only the titles of songs and videos in a bottom playlist, which is 320px wide. Titles and locations are stored in an XML file.The player is 320px wide. I would like the playlist to display a title as long as "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy." I'm only getting "Boogie Woogie Bugle," which fills about half the width of the playlist.
Is this built in to Simple Skin? Is there a way of changing this in the Simple Skin source code fla? I see that the playlist is made out of dynamic text, which I assume it is getting from the XML. Is there a way of extending the space available for the title, or does it mean "rebuilding" the skin?
Thank you.
Answering my own question:
Open the skin source code .fla in Flash CS3.
Keep double-clicking on the player in the playlist area until you reach the "duration" dynamic text field (or "title" or "author"). Delete fields you don't want - in my case "author" and "duration". drag the "title text field to fill the entire available area.
Save the .fla file with a new name and publish the .swf file.
Use the newfile.swf as your skin.
Font changes can be made the same way
