I'm trying to write a set of master controls for setting the styles for 3 rich text areas. what I need is for a single set of controls (bold button, italics button, ect) to set the styles for all three rich text areas at the same time. I have read the api and I'm just not sure how to go about this. i can set the entire text area to bold, but that is not correct... i just makes the entire textarea bold instead of anything typed from that point on so i would LOVE any incite on this problem.
A few things I have tried to no avail ... Toggling the controlls manually: rt1a.boldButton.selected = true; var eventObj:Event = new Event("CHANGE"); dispatchEvent(eventObj); Manipulating the RichTextArea manually: rt1a.textArea.setStyle("fontWeight","bold"); Neither one of which seems to work or even be strolling down the right path to a solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ryan
