    Dynamic Text Font

    I created some scrolling text through the help of some fine people on this site.

    This scrolling column of text starts out with a bolded headline. Underneath that headline is plain, non-bolded body copy. When I export my .swf file all of the text displays in the bolded headline style (the first style of copy that appears in the column). I've tried bolding the copy in Flash and using different fonts loaded on my computer with the same result.

    Will scrolling and/or dynamic text only support one font style?

    Thanks.

    Are you loading this text from a text file and embedding the font?

    The text is not being loaded. I simply created a text box in Flash and typed in my information.

    You can't type different font styles in the same textfield (well you can, but they won't show!). You'll have to define your text with actionscript and use html formated text.
