Hi there!

I’ve read several tutorials & articles about css in flash, but i haven’t found anything that’d resolve my problems with css.

I have 4 textfields, where the content is read from xml files & i formatted it in css & embedded fonts. The problem is that i want to set a few different styles for links (\<a\>), but there’s only one working. If in css file i put e.g.:

a:link{  
…  
}

.something a:link{  
…  
}

some error occurs & textFields are not formatted properly.  
It works well only if i set one , general style for \<a\>:

a:link{  
…  
}

Anyone knows how to set different styles for links, that’d work correctly?
