Hi All
I have a loop that creates pages, creates textfields then adds text. Some of
this text has font tags and some doesn't. I want to use a default textFormat
so that an embedded font is used when no font is specified in the text:
currentPage.createTextField(my_txt, 1, 5, 5,
hey
one question...why are you mixing html and TextFormat? i try to use one of both.
where did you get the font for each textField from?
so you could do it on that way
var default_font=arial
var html_font=
if(text_html_font==undefined){
html_font=default_font
}
currentPage.my_txt.htmlText
Some of the text that is being pulled in from xml will have font tags
attached and some won't so I want to se thte default format.
I have got round it for now with an if statement so the default format is
only set if there is no font tag in the string.
However in the case of a string with only

if there are none present.
Thansk for the help.

What do you want to achieve, Danny?
AFAIK setNewTextFormat is meant for user entered text, like mentioned
in the LiveDocs, which works well for me.
public setNewTextFormat(tf:TextFormat) : Void

Does setNewTextFormat not work
Curious, why are you using the Textfield.variable property?
I would recommend making the switch over to textfield.text or
textField.htmlText so as to avoid any complications and do it
the Actionscript way.
Various reasons. Most obviously, I've got a fair number of fields

IMO, there's nothing wrong with using TextField.variable. It has its
time and place and can be used properly.
Just because it's overused by novices doesn't make it a bad thing, just
like bevels and dropshadows in Photoshop aren't always a bad thing
either. Of course, Lens Flare is a different
Andreas, if i understood you correct, what you want is this:
var format1_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format1_fmt.font = Arial;
var format2_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format2_fmt.font = Courier;
var string1:String = Sample string number one.+newline;
var string2:String = Sample
I was hoping i wouldn't have to do that.. But thanks Rodrigo, it'll do
fine :)

Ok i'm confused.
fmtOne = new TextFormat(Arial,20);
fmtTwo = new TextFormat(Arial,40);
blah = _root.createTextField(myField,10,0,0,100,100);
blah.autoSize = true;
blah.setNewTextFormat(fmtOne);
blah.text+=First ;
blah.setNewTextFormat(fmtTwo);
blah.text+=Second;
