Thanks for your answer. I know the text and orange background are ok, but the formats won't show. Are you really getting bold text, what about the size and color? what if you add:
format.italic = true, format.underline = true; format.font = "Georgia"; Do they show? can't get the formats to work. Im using flex beat 3 btw. thanks. --- In [email protected], "shrikant.patil" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > hi, > > i have tested u r file.... i got a orange backgrounded, vardana, bold text > saying that : The quick brown Fox... > > i hope it is working fine... > > > ndkamp wrote: > > > > I try to apply UITextFormat to an UITextField in a custom component > > but the new format won't show. what am i doing wrong? > > > > package tests.components > > { > > import flash.text.TextLineMetrics; > > import mx.core.UIComponent; > > import mx.core.UITextField; > > import mx.core.UITextFormat; > > > > public class TestCustomComponent extends UIComponent > > { > > private var txt:UITextField; > > > > public function TestCustomComponent() > > { > > super(); > > } > > > > /* > > * Create the TextField add some TextFormat and add it to > > * the displayList. > > */ > > override protected function createChildren():void { > > super.createChildren(); > > > > //Use TextFormat and apply some formats > > var format:UITextFormat = new > > UITextFormat(this.systemManager); > > format.font = "Verdana"; > > format.bold = true; > > format.color = 0x804020; > > format.size = 20; > > > > //The TextField that should be formated > > txt = new UITextField(); > > > > //The documentation says TextFormat won't be applied > > //when a styleSheet is in use, naive approach to so set > > this to null > > //is this enough? > > txt.styleSheet = null; > > txt.styleName = null; > > > > //Apply the TextFormat for defaults and all current Text > > txt.defaultTextFormat = format; > > txt.text = "The quick brown Fox..."; > > this.addChild(txt); > > > > } > > > > /* > > * Sets the measures to the width of the text plus some offset > > */ > > override protected function measure():void { > > super.measure(); > > var metrics:TextLineMetrics = txt.getLineMetrics(0); > > this.measuredWidth = this.measuredMinWidth = > > metrics.width + 20; > > this.measuredHeight = this.measuredMinHeight = > > metrics.height + 2; > > } > > > > /* > > * Add a rounded Rectangle at the back of the TextField > > */ > > override protected function > > updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number, > > unscaledHeight:Number):void { > > super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight); > > this.graphics.beginFill(0xff8800, 1); > > this.graphics.drawRoundRect(0, 0, unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight, 10); > > this.graphics.endFill(); > > txt.setActualSize(unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight); > > } > > } > > } > > > > > > > > -- > View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Fail-to-apply-UITextFormat-to-UITextField-in-custom-Component-tp15266357p15267393.html > Sent from the FlexCoders mailing list archive at Nabble.com. >
