In this tutorial, I’m going to show you how to create an auto-resizable text box, meaning the box auto-resizes 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.
