Hi All,

I have an issue about the italics when embedding the fonts in run-time dynamic text field. I am using CS4 and as3.

Here is my code:

var fontArial:Arial = new Arial();  
var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();

format.align=TextFormatAlign.LEFT;  
format.font=fontArial.fontName;  
format.italic=true;

var tf:TextField = new TextField();  
tf.autoSize=TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;  
tf.defaultTextFormat = format;  
tf.embedFonts = true;  
tf.selectable = false;  
tf.htmlText="\<p\>\<i\>This is italic text\</i\>. This is normal text\</p\>";  
[//tf.setTextFormat](https://tf.setTextFormat)(format)// I have tried setTextFormat too. But its not working either.  
addChild(tf);

Its not working. The output is a plain text. I dont know how to embed italic and bold fonts all at a time in runtime dynamic textfield.

Please someone help me if its a known issue.

Thanks in advance

Regards,  
Srinu
