If you really need this you could access the internal textField and use the htmlText property using mx_internal. Of course, this could not work with future versions of the Flex SDK.
Example: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import mx.controls.Alert; private var messageAlert:Alert; private function showAlert():void { Alert.yesLabel = "OK"; Alert.noLabel = "Cancel"; messageAlert = Alert.show( "This option is NOT allowed", "Title", Alert.NO | Alert.YES ); /* Access the internal HtmlText. */ messageAlert.mx_internal::alertForm.mx_internal::textField.htmlText="T his option is <b>NOT</b> allowed"; } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:Style> Alert { messageStyleName: "alertMessageStyle"; } .alertMessageStyle { color: black; } </mx:Style> <mx:Button label="Show Alert" click="showAlert()" /> </mx:Application> --- In [email protected], "Peter DeHaan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Kevin, > > > > You can file an enhancement request (ECR) in the public Flex bug base at > http://bugs.adobe.com/flex/. > > File against the "Flex SDK", and then select "Component: Alert". > > > > Thanks, > > Peter > > > > > > ________________________________ > > From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Kevin > Sent: Saturday, November 10, 2007 8:24 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [flexcoders] Alert accept html formatting? > > > > Is there a simple way to format the text in an alert popup?
