Re: [Flashcoders] Dynamic Text Boxes in Flash CS4
You can use multiple TextFormat object in one text field affecting different parts of the text. I think most people think that its more hassle that way than using htmlText.

You have to embed the font for that textfield so it will render the text correctly. --Original Message-- From: Donald Talcott Sender: flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com To: Flash Coders List ReplyTo: Flash Coders List Subject: [Flashcoders] Dynamic Text Boxes in Flash CS4 Sent: May 26, 2010 5:07 PM I have some static text boxes that I need to make dynamic. Questions; 1. Do you have to render text as HTML in a Dynamic text box in order to use multiple font sizes and colors within each box? 2.

Do you have to render text as HTML in a Dynamic text box in order to use multiple font sizes and colors within each box? I have found this to be the case, but you can control it with CSS as well. Others may be able to tell you different. 2. When I render the text as HTML, format the type, get it looking good. Then I click outside the text box, the text weight and line spacing changes. When I select the text box again with the text tool, the type appears correct as I originally set it. That has to do with how you have the text displayed. Wither its for readability, animation or a device font. Look at the properties panel when you have the text box selected. There should be a drop-down menu that lets you select how to display. Well it is that way in CS3, I don't have CS4. Best way though to see how your text is going to display is after the file is published, not inside the fla and your workspace necessarily. Why this is the case, "I" could not tell you.
