Can anyone help me get past this? Its probably just a dumb little thing I’m overlooking but here’s my problem: When I input dynamic text (using a flash font), I’ll highlight part of it and mark it as bold. When I view the swf the whole text line is marked as bold, as where I just wanted two words to be marked as bold. What am I doing wrong here?

I believe that bold is a property of the whole textField object. You could set it as htmlText, and use the \< b \> tag.
