How would I be able to do this, but from a button… each time i’ve tried, it seems to deselect the text when i press on the button… thus the changes aren’t made. Should I store the selected in a variable and then when I call the function from the button it pulls in that variable?
What are your thoughts?
function doFormat() {
var startIndex:Number = Selection.getBeginIndex();
var endIndex:Number = Selection.getEndIndex();
var stringToUppercase:String = output_txt.text.substring(startIndex, endIndex);
var format2_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format2_fmt.bold = true;
output_txt.setTextFormat(startIndex, endIndex, format2_fmt);
}
