Hello!

Issue: dynamic textfield created at runtime with html text doesn’t display bold and italics.

Having the Font symbol in my library with the linkage name “Avenir” :

tf = this.createTextField(‘t’, 0, 0, 0, 100, 300);  
tf.html = true;  
tf.multiline = true;  
tf.wordWrap = true;  
tf.autoSize = true;  
tf.selectable = false;  
tf.embedFonts = true;  
txtFormat = new TextFormat();  
txtFormat.font = “Avenir”;  
txtFormat.leading = 2;  
txtFormat.color = 0xFFFFFF;  
txtFormat.size = 12;

tf.htmlText = “bla \<b\>bla\</b\>”  
tf.setTextFormat(txtFormat);

The textfield totally ignores the bold html tag. The right font is displayed but the html tags are ignored. So if I want one text field to be able to dynamically display bold and italics (html text) using a Font Face in my library…how do I do it? What am I missing?

Thanks!
