Hi All,

I have a dynamic text box in stage and am passing text to the dynamic text box during runtime , the problem is how to make the text in the dynamic text box to bold , i have tried in many ways like

\>for the dynamic text box enabled the Bold button during authoring time ,  
\>through action script i have given the following code and tried  
\_root.myText.bold=true .

but nothing is working , can anyone tell wat am doing wrong?

Thanks,  
Saddu.
