"dropped capitals"

[friendlygiraffe]

Is it possible (with TLF or any other format) to set a textfield as "dropped capitals": That is, with the very first letter set big and the rest of the text set round it?

Thanks

Make an Input Textfield (Classic Text, not TLF), give it an instance name of, txt, and use this code on our frame, depending on your Actionscript version:

~ ACTIONSCRIPT 2.0 ~

txt.onChanged = function(){
    if(txt.text.length > 0){
        txt.replaceText(0, 1, txt.text.charAt(0).toUpperCase());
    }
}

~ ACTIONSCRIPT 3.0 ~

import flash.events.Event;

txt.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, firstCapital);

function firstCapital(e:Event){
    e.target.replaceText(0, 1, e.target.text.charAt(0).toUpperCase());
}

Hope this helps

Thanks, I was thinking something more like this:

that I am not sure of, and also not sure if is possible, because that kind of formatting isn't possible in Flash, based on my experience with Classic Text, but I may be wrong, 'cause I haven't tried TLF text!
