no danny. setNewTextFormat means that all NEW text in the textfield
will be formed. setTextFormat is only once and not for new text. and
if you do some new text via AS setNexTextFormat will work fine..
giles. if i understand you right youll get html-strings from your xml.
some of them have a font-tag, some not.
so make a searchFunction which is used for each textString from xml.
if the search will not find '<font face=" you have to rewrite your
string
eg
searchFontTag=function(str){
if(str.indexOf("<font face=")==-1){
var s="<font face='arial'>"+str+"</font>"
return s
}
return
}
but, other question....why is your xml inconsistent like it seems?!

setNewTextFormat is, in my opinion, broken: it works for text entered by a
user but not for text entered through ActionScript. You need to run
setTextFormat manually after changing it.
