formatter is a blank variable and has nothing to do with reading the text
propperties its used for setting them! I need to figure out how to tell if a
text field is set to italic or not! once i can do this i can fix the if
statement!
do you have any idea how to do this?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FUI - New code is this....
var formatter:TextFormat = _selectedBox.getTextFormat();
if (_selectedBox.formatter.italic == false)
{
formatter.italic = true;
}
else
{
formatter.italic = false;
}
_selectedBox.setTextFormat(formatter);

Hi, Stuart,
Based on the error message sounds like maybe you are trying to access
_selectedBox.formatter or something else invalid. Can you repaste your new
code after the change?
