Stop flash adding textFormat

[arkum]

Hello,

I'm exporting text from an html text box to a .text file. For reasons I won't go into, I have to export it as htmlText. My problem is that flash adds a default text format to the text.

Is there any way of stopping this or do I have to clean it up with php?

Thanks

Hi

I am not 100% sure, but can't you define your textFormat by creating one?

var myFormat:textFormat()= new textFormat();

myFormat.font="myFont";
....

Hi.

I don't want my own text format, I want no text format, and it seems like flash automatically applies a default text format to text within an htmlTextfield. I need the text to have no tags at the beginning or end. (It has anchor tags within the text so I can't just export it as text or it will not include these tags).

I was wondering if there was a way to stop flash applying a default text format.

Did you ever accomplished this?

Hi,

No I abandoned it. Was trying to use css to formatt an input textfield, but found out the amazingly useless fact that as soon as you apply a stylesheet to a textfield, it locks it and prevents any manual editing.

Lets pray for some better css support in number 9.
