Dynamic Scrolling Text

1

Hi guys,

Just did kirupa’s cool tutorial at : http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/dynamic_scroller.htm

However, Id like the text in the scroll pane to render as HTML, however, for whatever reason it wont.

Any clues?

Are you using HTML that isn’t supported by Flash? Most HTML won’t work, only simple things such as B, I, and [U]U[/U] will work.

This might not be completely up to date, but as far as I know, support for other tags hasn’t been added since this was published: http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_14808

Found out what it was…silly me.

When passing the vars to the instance, the tutorial sites:

scroller.text = this.myText

Whereas it should be (for HTML rendering):

scroller.htmlText = this.myText
