actually, i just found this… one of my text files…
scrollableText=<b>These will be our fees for the upcoming season:</b><br><br>18 Holes $83.50<br>Twilight 1 $67.00<br>
it has a <b> right next to the = and it works fine…
– my next guess –
i THINK it may be because of the <font> tag. anytime i used that it screws everything up, although it is weird that it would affect previous text.
Oh duh. It’s because I had chosen to embed all fonts for the dynamic textbox. :trout:
I always forget about that one. Funny how having that checked you can still do other tags like <u> <font color> <a herf> <br> but NOT <b>. I guess it makes sense but it’s still weird!
sortMC = "<b><u>Memos</u></b><br><br><font color ='#738DD9'><a href = 'http://www.blahblahblah.com'><u>blah website</u></a></FONT><br>";
There MUST be quotes from beginning to end for an HTML statement.
Your answer was TWO <br> tags.
Use “http://” for links, always.

#3. I WANT two <br> tags. Actually I have several throughout the whole thing because there are several memos to list and I don’t want the big 'ol space in between them. That part actually works fine #4. As you have written the html statement only has single quotation marks but you use double in the #4 statement? :h:
Actually just unchecking the embed font option on the dynamic text box made everything work just fine. But to play it safe I will incorporate what you suggested (granted I can work out the double and single quotation mark issue! )
Then you’re doing something wrong because It worked perfect for me. You must be thinking this the wrong way…I can’t explain this, you just gotta get it. Oh well :sigh:…
Yeah but this whole post was started because I was loading a textfile and the html tags weren’t working. I wasn’t looking to use AS for this at all! So no offense dude but I don’t get what you are getting at. I know how to format the text in AS but I have like 25 different text files to load and I’m looking to format them the same way and load them dynamically. So thanks for your help but it wasn’t really relative to this particular situation. :-\
