Hi,

Please forgive me if this is a stupid question.

I have just posted a thread on this forum relating to a piece of action script. In the post I wanted to show the script that I was working on, so just copied and pasted it straight from the Actions window in Flash.

Having seen other posts it looks like they are displaying their script as what look more like graphic elements than just pasted text.

HOW do I ahceive this???

Please Help me!

Thanks

Put the code between these tags: [noparse]

```auto
trace('hi');

```

[/noparse]

```auto
trace('hi');

```
