I opened up a file that was created in cs3 flash with cs5 flash and we have some text that is bold in our actionscript code. now when i load that file with cs5 the bold text drop's out of bold and is just plain text. Does anyone know if there is a quick fix for this because what was there before the <b></b> is not working now.
View 1 RepliesI have a dynamic text box for 3 lines of text. I styled part of the text to be bold and part of it to be regular. When i click on the button to display the text it looks right the first time but if i click on it a second time then all of the text shows up bold instead of just the few lines i assigned the bold tag to.
View 18 RepliesI have a dynamic textfield being populated with an xml files' content. I then have a css stylesheet loaded into format the text. This all works great, but what doesn't work is the ability to bold some of the words in that text. I have both the regular and bold versions of the font embedded into the swf, I can test out just a bold block of text and it works fine. The css is also working as it will change the size of the text that I tell it to. Everything is working, but for some reason I am not able to get the bolder version of the font to display in the same text box as the regular one. I have also tried to change fonts but had the same outcome.

I'm loading content from a text file into a text field in Flash. In that text file I have some simple html tags like <b>, <i>, and <img>. I'm setting the textfield as html text:
myTextField.htmlText = myContent
The img tags work fine, but for some reason the bold and italics are not displaying...the tags are being correctly stripped from the text, but there is no bold or italic text. I'm embedding all the characters I need, but do I need to somehow embed the bold/italics versions of those characters?
I am using XML file to pass text into a SWF. How can I use styles, either inline or external, to make certain text in the middle of a sentence appear italic or colored or bold, etc. A character or somethinng that you can put right in the XML file.

Has anyone noticed how the 3D tween causes a loss in visual quality of the movieclip? For example, if I have text within a movieclip, and then put a 3D tween on that movieclip, the text becomes almost blurry (even when the tween is complete). Then if I take the 3D tween off the movieclip, the text goes back to being perfectly clear. It's not just text though; its any content with a 3D tween on it; text is just the most noticable. Is anyone else dealing with this?
Is there something that I'm missing, like a quality setting on 3D tweens?
P.S. there aren't any blur filters on the movieclip. I checked
Trying to format input text fields using format buttons in Actionscript has been challenging. I've been able to put some pieces together, however I am still missing some things. Here's my code:

I need the ability to click the Bold button and it bolds or unbolds at the cursor so if I hit the bold button what I type from that point on will be bold until I hit the button again and then it goes back to regular. I am able to change it to bold or unbold by selecting the text and clicking the button but I also need to do it without selecting.
I have a linked movieclip that contains two textfields.One of the textfields needs to have regular and bold text, so I thought I would use htmlText however it's only showing the regular font that I embedded?I made the textfield in Flash and called it "details".I also tried to make another textField in the symbol called, "invisi" and I set it not visible:invisi.visible = false;I embedded the BOLD version of the font in the invisi textfield, hoping this would make the "details" text field show the bold font...but no luck.

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to update an old CS3 project, which had a dynamic text field with HTML formatted text using the <b> tag to create bold text in places. In the CS4 version the bold text simply doesn't show up. It does in the CS3 version. I have embedded the font in both regular and bold varieties, both by using the offstage empty text field method, and the font in library method. I simply can't get it to work. I've seen other people having this problem with CS4 on other forums, but no solutions or workarounds as yet.
View 3 RepliesI have a website that is all flash. I have a main file that loads in the nav and then the nav loads in the designated .swf file for each section. So there are several sections(.swf's) with lots of text taken from a database and inserted into the swf file from
an XML file. If I click in between sections, and go back to the original section of text the formatting is lost. This is only in Internet Explorer 7- this does not happen in Firefox or on the Mac.
I've got a dynamic text field that I want to sometimes be bold, sometimes not. It's called "myTextField".I'm sending it a variable called "myText" and trying to bold it as follows:myTextField.text = "<B>" + myText + "</B>"
- The text field has the font embedded.
- I have some regular AND bold text in the text field in authoring
- The text field is set to receive HTML text in properties.
But it keeps putting "<B>" right in the text field before my variable and "</B>" after. What am I missing / not getting here?I know I've done this before, but can't find where.
I have a .doc file. I want to load the text from that file into Flash. So I convert it into a .txt using a website like this one: http:[url]..... I add in the little code at the beginning (myTextField=) and then Flash loads it fine. The only problem is any marked up text (italics, bold, underline) is lost. Is there any way to prevent this from happening? Or for Flash to load text from something other than a .txt? Or to manually reinsert html tags to the .txt and get Flash to understand them? Or something else I'm not considering?
View 6 Repliesi'm using a font called "AGBookBQ-Regular" in a dynamic text box, which loads a text file. i understand that to include the bold and italic options, i have placed another text box just out of view off the stage with these two options selected.italic works fine but the bold makes very little difference... it only stretches the font slightly.i've searched for the answer to make a much bolder font and it seems you can use a specific bold font as the bold font.i've tried this, but nothing happens. i think i'm interpreting it correctly, but if someone could please confirm this works and perhaps explain it a little clearer (using my specific font names... "AGBookBQ-Regular" and "AGBookBQ-Medium" as the bold font).

I have a text field in Flash (CS4, using AS3), the font is set to Helvetica Neue, and it looks fine as a static text field, but looks bold when it is set to dynamic. What causes this? Is there anyway around this problem (other than setting the field to static)? Is there a way to control tracking with TextFormat in AS3? You can control leading with the object, but I can't seem to find a way to put more space between letters.

View 1 RepliesIt seems like I found a bug in Flash Professional CS5. For some reason a bold capital "U" will not render in htmlText. It will render fine in a normal text box and will render as a lowercase u or as a non-bold capital U. I have tried typing two UUs in a row, typing a letter before the U, but it always skips the bold capital U.
