Re: [Flashcoders] Settiing the default format of TextFields in CS3
Ahhh... You know, I hadn't considered the Style Sheet option. Maybe I'll
give that a try.
Thanks, guys!

RE: [Flashcoders] Settiing the default format of TextFields in CS3
same here, never found a solution other than reapplying the textformat to the
field after any change. if you use a css style sheet instead i don't think you
have to reapply it, although i think there are some limitations with them that
i can't remember. not sure how you use embedded fonts with a css sheet either
although i'm sure its possible.
best,
david

Re: [Flashcoders] Settiing the default format of TextFields in CS3
Not saying much, but: no normal workaround that I know. This is behavior
that has been in Flash since the AS2 days - certain properties (like
letterSpacing) are always lost with defaultTextFormat so you always need to
set it again. I always used something similar to your code.

Why don't you use a CSS sheet??

Hey, Flash Coders! Happy New Year!
Quick question for you guys: I work a lot with dynamic TextFields that I
design, format and lay out in the Flash CS3 authoring environment. The
problem I frequently run into is that when I go ahead and change the text of
these things in the code, most of the text formatting information is lost.
As a work-around, I've gotten into the habit of calling a function like this
in my constructors...
private function initTextFields():void
{
for each (var formatMe:TextField in [titleTxt, headerTxt, legalTxt,
storyTxt]) {
var tf:TextFormat = formatMe.getTextFormat();
formatMe.defaultTextFormat = tf;
}
}
This works, but I keep wondering if I'm doing unnecessary work. Is there any
kind of "Keep the current formatting of any textfield I've created in the
authoring environment" checkbox that I'm just missing somewhere?
Thanks!
