This is driving me crazy, cause I know in theory it should work, but it doesn’t.
So I’ve place a dynamic textfield on stage with some fake text which will be replaced. I’ve imported two fonts: Eurocomic Regular and Eurocomic Bold. Gave them an AS-linkage though I don’t think that was necessary.
Added the following script:
headline_txt.html=true;
headline_txt.htmlText = "<font face='Eurocomic'>This word is <B>BOLD</B></font>";</B>";
Which should turn the text inside the headline_txt textfield into “This word is BOLD”. But it doesn’t. It just shows “This word is BOLD” all in regular plain characters. Tried it with some other fonts too, but they react the same.
Am I missing something here? Shouldn’t it work as I describe it? Other than using stylesheets, creating textfields through actionscript, or setTextFormat, why are my bold tags ignored? And how can I make it work?
Attached the file with the two mentioned versions of the Eurocomic font to play with.
