This is my problem I have dynamically loaded text that I want to have options like “bold” which I would have to make my dynamic text field “render text field as HTML” I did this but the problem is when I added just a simple bold tag it shows up as text. Now I went to http://www.macromedia.com/support/fl...s/htmltext.htm (which OldNewbie kindly gave to me) but no such luck with that because their example has the text in an action. So I’m wondering if this can be done and if so how? Does anyone have a site they can recommend or possibly have a quick example of their own?
I haven't tried your method yet but I did manage to get it to work. Too bad I only got it to work on a test file. I'm also using levels, which might be a problem with the text. Here is my test file, and for anyone else out there trying to find the answer but you can't find it and wasting tons of time here is a PERFECT RESOURSE FOR YOU!
Why is it when you have the option "No Characters" checked you can see your HTML fine but when you click "All Characters" It puts your text back to default (this option is under "Characters...")
Hmmm...
Also as it stands my code I'm using to call the txt is as of follows:
loadVarsText = new loadVars();
loadVarsText.load("/text/test.txt");
//assign a function which fires when the data is loaded:
loadVarsText.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
trace("done loading");
//Now that we know the data is loaded,
//set the text content of the Text Field
//with the instance name "scroller" equal to the
//contents of the variable
scroller.text = this.Text;
} else {
trace("not loaded");
}
};
