Formating Dynamic Scroller

[munkie]

Is there a way to format fonts in a dynamic scolling text box (ie Bold/Colored fonts)

Thanks!

Just use basic html tags such as < F ONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="12" COLOR="#FFFFFF">xxx< / F ONT>

be sure to take out the space in F ONT

Then it just displays the HTML tags.

Do I have to "tell" the text box to allow html somehow?

doh.. forgot... you have to click on the dynamic text field and then in the properties press the "Render as html" button.

You have to enable the html tab in the textfield's properties. It looks like this: (<>)

And here are the only html1.0 supported tags when using Flash:

Although < li> does also work, but is undocumented.

Old Newbie.. you ever make it out to the Flashkit Conference? it'd be cool to meet ya..

Okie...

From that example I MUST set a variable to = my text...

What if I hhave many html formatted paragraphs that I need to put in my scrolling dynamic text box?

rendering as HTML sucks. . .your limited in what html you can use.

This means no images, no styles, nothing.

I'm faced with this same problem at this very moment. If flash could read a text as if it where html verse regular text. . ..whoa baby, then we'd be rolling!!
