hi there kirupa’s!  
this is the first time i’m working with html text and realised that the last weeks work is going to the toilet…

i’m having a bad time because i’m programming a website, and my font has no bold/italic, ect. i mean, in flash i need to select the variation of the font to aply it to the text field.

so lets imagine:  
if my text\_txt font is BentonSans, it wont care to the \<b\> tags.

is there a way to make the textfield change its font to BentonSans-Bold?

how can i tell flash that by \<b\> it means BentonSans-Bold, \<i\> for BentonSans-Itallic, etc? and can a dynamic textfield use more than one font like the normal textfield?

thanks in advance!
