Hey Ktt,
I found this, but it is AS2 I think. You might be able to convert to
AS3 if you really need to.
var format1_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format1_fmt.font = "Arial";
var format2_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format2_fmt.font = "Courier";
format2_fmt.color = 0xFF0000;
format2_fmt.bold = true;
this.createTextField("my_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 0, 0, 300,
200);
my_txt.multiline = true;
my_txt.wordWrap = true;
my_txt.setTextFormat(0, firstIndex, format1_fmt);
my_txt.text = "hallo this is a test made by Xeef from As.Org";
var secondIndex:Number = my_txt.length;
my_txt.setTextFormat(format1_fmt);
SearcFor = "Xeef";
q = my_txt.text.indexOf(SearcFor);
if (!(q+1)) {
trace("string NOT found");
} else {
my_txt.setTextFormat(q, q+SearcFor.length, format2_fmt);
}
Here is the thread if you want to read up.

Hope that is what you needed or at least get you going down the home
stretch.
Best,
Karl

Thank you for reply. I use setTextFormat, but the parsing of
textfield's
lines content is quite tricky. I can extract text with getLineText,
but having problems accesing a word's indexOf.
Regrds,

I would use the setTextFormat method if I had to use a
TextField. But I would rather use flash.text.engine and
assign a separate content element instead.
