formatting dynamic text.. but different

[forzaboro]

I've seen many posts about formatting dynamic text but they all seem to use HTML, I need another option to work directly in the flash player.

dynText = "this is my text"

I'd like to make say, "is my" in bold and the rest not using actionscript.

Any ideas?

well the browser does not render the 'html' text within flash, flash does that itself.

e.g if you have a text field called tTest then the following will make bold the letters enclosed in <b>

tTest.html = true;
tTest.htmlText = "<B>This is bold</B> while this is not bold";

i'd like my app to be played through the flash player, enclosing my text in <B>text</B> like that displays just that on screen (with the B's)... do I need to change some kind of setting?

the <b> tags should not show in the above code...copy and paste the exact thing in a new flash movie and test it out
