Thank you Kenneth, this explains what probably happens beneath the hood

Re: [Flashcoders] fl.controls.Label.textField.textColor not working
Last stab..
// Import the required component classes.
import fl.controls.Label;
// Create a new instance of the Font1 symbol from the document's
library.
var myFont:Font = new MyFont();
// Create a new TextFormat object, and set the font and size properties.
var myTextFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
myTextFormat.font = myFont.fontName; //This requires a font in your
Flash document's library with a linkage class of "MyFont".
myTextFormat.size = 8;
myTextFormat.textColor = 0xFF;
/* Create a new Label component instance, set the
textField.antiAliasType property,
set the embedFonts and textFormat styles, and add the label to
the display list. */
var myLabel:Label = new Label();
myLabel.text = "should be red";
myLabel.background = true;
myLabel.backgroundColor = 0x00FF00;
//myLabel.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
//myLabel.move(10, 10);
myLabel.textField.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
myLabel.setStyle("embedFonts", true);
myLabel.setStyle("textFormat", myTextFormat);
addChild(myLabel);
HTH,
got it from here.

Re: [Flashcoders] fl.controls.Label.textField.textColor not working
If you "cancel" the TextFormat you should be able to apply textColor, i.e.
_label.setStyle("textFormat", new TextFormat(null, null, null));
_label.textField.textColor = 0xff;
But then you may as well just do:
_label.setStyle("textFormat", new TextFormat(null, null, 0xff));

Hello,
does anybody please know, why I can only set the background color here?

Re: [Flashcoders] fl.controls.Label.textField.textColor not working
Unfortunately there is no "html" property, and even this is not working: var _label:Label = new Label(); _label.textField.background = true; _label.textField.backgroundColor = 0x00FF00; _label.textField.textColor = 0xFF; _label.textField.text = "should be red"; _label.textField.htmlText = "should be red"; _label.text = "should be red"; _label.htmlText = "should be red"; _label.textField.textColor = 0xFF; addChild(_label); (Yes, I'm aware of TextFormat and ... workarounds, but wonder why is textField.backgroundColor working and textColor is not) Regards Alex ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Re: [Flashcoders] fl.controls.Label.textField.textColor not working
Quite possibly could be that you need to set a html text field too. _label.textField.html = true; _label.textField.htmlText = "should be red"; JAT Karl On Sep 21, 2010, at 4:36 AM, Karl DeSaulniers wrote: Have you tried setting the text color before the background color?
