View 4 RepliesI have a question about textfields and I'm wondering if it is possible to change text styles of single words or lines within a textfield with actionscript.I use an empty textfield and add my text to that field in actionscript with the following code:
myTfield.text = "insert text here"the text contains multiple lines and I want some of them to be bold, italic or a bigger font size. The reason why I am adding my text to my textfield this way is because I need the text in the textfield to change when some buttons are pressed. Text will be added or removed from the textfield if buttons are pressed by the user and the current way I'm changing the text is by simply re-using the code above with new text in it. (it makes the code quite long though, but I guess I'll have to deal with that)But because I'm adding text this way I am not sure how to change the style of different parts of the text.
On a related note, with CS5 there are now a number of options for textfields. There is TLF text and classic text. I've searched around for the differences but I don't find the awnsers very clear. What option should I use for my textfield if I want it to look sharp like the text I'm typing here (its just regular text, no headers or anything). Some options just give blurry text because of the anti-alias and some settings don't seem to change a thing. And at times embedding fonts looks nice but sometimes it makes it worse. There are so many options to choose from, but it is unclear what would work best for regular text. (my text won't animate, it does move with a scrollbar, but I only care about how it looks when the scrollbar is still)

I am currently working on a website project that is mostly intended for Dyslexia disability users. I'm love flash but I can never get around the advance coding, therefore I have struggled to make any effective contribution to my work.
At the moment I am trying to change the text/font color using a button similarly to the Background color, but I really can't get my head around it.
Is it possible that such simple thing isn't possible to change. I searched for this but couldn't find anything useful.

I am somewhat new to Actionscipt and I need a bit of help. I have created a dynamic text box that is being fed from an xml file. Depending on the data (whether positive or negative), I would like the output text to either be green or red (green for positive, red for negative). I�m sure that has to be a condition statement written and applied to the object, but I do not know how to do.

I am trying to develop a flash site where people can choose from a list of "skins" and when they do, the site color changes. I have a button with the instance name "home". In the "Over" keyframe of this button I have a text box with the instance name of "overText". I can't change the text color
I have used the following code
// set the color
blue = 0x0000FF;
//set object and attibute
menuTextStyle = new TextFormat ();
menuTextStyle.color = blue;
//apply to the text field
_root.home.overText.setTextFormat (menuTextStyle);
I have also tried using _root.overText; home.overText at the start of the text field path but these have't worked either.

Is there a way you can change a text objects color with AS? For example Giving the text object the instant name: my text. Then changing the color of that instant name??? The way I have been doing this in the past is by making the text object a movie clip and just making a second key frame with the second color. However this means I now have a lot of movie clips floating around.
