hi list
quickly, it's my first post here, I'm a Flash developper and am
interrested in switching to some kind of FAME dev platform (further
introduction and my difficulties in just doing it, making the whole
stuff simply work, will probably be the topic of some next post...).
thus I can currently only talk about AS2 and Flash problems from my
pure Macromedia Flash IDE experience
I agree the text issues are often a mess with Flash.
anyway, there's another method than "setTextFormat" which is
"setNewTextFormat", and maybe it could help...
and i've experienced too that changing the order is sometimes useful
(generally : putting the textformat stuff after setting the .text or
htmlText property).
yet, even after doing quite a lot of stuff with textfields, there are
two solutions:
- I don't understand the way it works so far
- the way it works is really a mess
as an egocentric geek, I'd choose the second solution...
