    Bullets for externally loaded text

    Trying to add bullets to dynamic text array from txt file but so far no luck, I have tried with the <AI> method but with no luck.

    Well this is where I'm up too, I feel close but yet so far,

    this is on my mc containing a dynamic textfield.

    onClipEvent (load) {
    bulletpoint.text=_parent.passarray[1];
    bulletpoint.multiline=true;
    bulletpoint.wordWrap=true;
    var format = new TextFormat();
    format.bullet = true;
    bulletpoint.setTextFormat(format);

    }

    In my first frame I have :

    varReceiver = new LoadVars();
    varReceiver.load("external013.txt");
    varReceiver.onLoad = function() {
    passarray = this.mypage.split("|");
    };

    Bullet Color

    Ok I have bullets using <li>, I was mistakenly using <ai> and now I have bullets but I can only get black. As always in Flash one step forward 2 steps back. Anyone know of a tag or somewhere else I can specify the bullet colour

    The bullet < li> tag is not even officially supported by Flash.

    Be happy that it does somewhat work!

    For the list of the ONLY officially supported tags...

    That all good, but is there a workaround for my problem.

    There is some bullet command in actionscript but it is beyond my very limited knowledge.
