drop down font list

[xcaliber_1]

Hello all,

I a using Flash MX 2004, and here is what I am trying to do. I would like to have a ComboBox that offers a selection of font families to choose from. Once the font is selected, it would change the text, which has been typed in already, that is on stage in a text field.

Any help on how to do this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks-xcaliber

Hi,

Have a look at this demo file. It does exactly what you are asking. It is an MX file from a book,... not my creation...
