[Flashcoders] Problem: Bold, italic, normal text style in a dynamic textfield
Hey everyone, I'm problems with showing italic, bold and normal text in a dynamic textfield, behing a mask, all at one time. To make things simple: I have a textfield (tf) in a movieclip (mc) on the stage, which is masked. I embedded all characters, for testing purposes. mc.tf.htmlText = hello; - works like a charm. mc.tf.htmlText = hello iworld/i; - world doesn't come out but at least world is italicized. Now, if I click on the italic button in the properties of the textfield, mc.tf.htmlText = hello iworld/i; hello doesn't come out. It's the same story with bold. Am I doing something wrong?

Html doesn't always render the bold versions of the fonts or italicized. I think if you are using a non standard font - hence the embedding, I think you may have better luck converting the html tags to a textFormat object and apply it. Someone else might totally disagree, but in the past,that is how I have managed to get my text to the look the way i want it too. Wrestling with text, one of the many joys.

You need to have all versions of the font embedded -- bold, italic, regular -- whatever versions you intend to use. You can create dummy textfields offstage that are identical to the real textfield, except don't give them an instance name and, for each one, select bold or italic in that textfield's properties panel. Embed the fonts in these just as you would for the real textfield. This will allow Flash to display bold and italic. There may be a way to embed fonts using textFormat or some other method, but I haven't played with it enough to get it to work.
