to select and make bold with HTML text...
Hi,
I'm trying to make a text editor in flash but I'm having way too much trouble with it (my scripting is just too bad I guess)
What I'm trying to do is a 'bold' button. With this button I want selected text to be bold; if no text is selected I want the text that is inserted after 'bold' to be bold (sounds confusing but the same way as for example MS Word)
What I have now is this:
'bold' button:
code:
on(rollOver){
startSel = Selection.getBeginIndex();
endSel = Selection.getEndIndex();
oudeSelectie = Selection.getFocus();
if (endSel - startSel > 0){
selected = "true";
} else {
selected = "false";
}
}
on (release) {
if (selected eq "true"){
Selection.setFocus(oudeSelectie);
Selection.setSelection(startSel,endSel);
begin = tfield.slice(0,startSel);
z= tfield.slice(startSel,endSel);
end = tfield.slice(endSel,1000000);
output= begin add "<B>" add z add "</B>" add end;
tfield = output;
}
Selection.setFocus("textfield.text");
Selection.setSelection(100000,100000000);
}
When HTML formatting is set off to in the textfield it seems to work fine but as I turn it on all text is gone after selecting and pressing the button.
If I make trace 'output' I see a long string of HTML tags plus the two tags for bold but the bold tags(<b></b>) are at the wrong place.
Is there any way to go this way with HTML formatted text?
I would be most greatfull
(and happy)
Thanks,
Vincent

Don't use bold tags. Use the TextFormat object
The future belongs to those who prepare for it today.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
Could you please explain?;
I'm working on this
Can I use the TextFormat for that?
Can one textfield have more textformats?
Thanks,
Vincent
