Is there COMPLETE SIMPLE example of using html and actionscript to format text anywhere ? I want to make an mxml tag, and then I want to change the font size with action script. I have spent 2 days trying to figure this out. Why is it so hard ?
All the examples I have found go on for hundreds of lines with all sorts of extra added complications that have nothing to do with simply changing the font size. I have numerous books, including the action script 3.0 cookbook and the examples are completely worthless because they say stuff like field.html=true without giving any clues as to what "field" is. In other words, the examples are not complete. I have tried various controls and all I get is errors. Seriously, why doesn't Adobe hire someone to write COMPLETE SIMPLE examples ?
