Yup. <?xml version="1.0"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"; xmlns="*" creationComplete=""> <mx:Text id="t" text="The quick brown fox jumped over the text." /> <mx:Button label="Color" click="doColor()"/> <mx:Script> function doColor():Void { var tf = t.labelField.getTextFormat(5, 10); tf.color = 0xFF0000; t.labelField.setTextFormat(5, 10, tf); } </mx:Script> </mx:Application> labelField is an undocumented property. It's of type TextField. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://manish.revise.org/ Yahoo!
