In this tutorial, I’m going to show you how to create an autoresizable text box, meaning the box autoresizes itself depending on the text it’s enclosing. The one issue that always comes up is how to animate the text box independently of the text it’s enclosing. Well, I’ve cracked the code and have never seen this done anywhere else.
