I have also tried this but I can't get it to work.
It does not matter if I scale or decrese point size, only the text shown in the frame gets affected. So I end up with a text that is unevenly sized over its length... :S

This is what I do:
						tell myTframe
							set scale to 100
							repeat until overflows is false
								set scale to scale - 1
								set horizontal scale of text of myTframe to scale
								set vertical scale of text of myTframe to scale
							end repeat
						end tell
I have also tried to set the scale to every character of ....
but no luck...

Any suggestions on how to solve this?
