OK. I’m experimenting with some things and I really want to make this site truly dynamic. At the moment I have all the data inside an XML file, which gets loaded and parsed into an array in Flash. Good.
Then I take that data and create a string with HTML tags for bold/italics for date and time and subject. That’s great.
Then I put that text into a createTextField and it loads OK, everything is fine. But then I try to mask it (so I can put a scrollbar on it) and it just dissapears.
I try to embed the fonts. I’ve tried the put the font in the library. The best I can do is limiting it’s height and using textField.scroll++ which neither smooth nor sexy.
I’m wondering if I’m simply asking too much of Flash in this situation, or if I forgot some technique that would make it work. I’ve been staring at this for over an hour now and I simply can’t figure it out.
Thanks in advance for any help
