HTML text formating through Flash

programming flash
1

I know that with actionscript you can assign certain formating to the HTML text that you use within your Flash animation.

My question is if you can also use actionscript to do the following.

In HTML when you assign as FONT format… font face=“verdana,arial” when the user does not have verdana installed, the browser automatically choses Arial (or whatever font you indicated and available on users system) as font to use.

Is the same thing possible within Flash HTML text?

Obviously to prevent that when people don’t have the particular font you use for your HTML text, everything screws up :slight_smile:

Thanks :slight_smile:

I know you can assign Font faces in Flash that way, but I don’t know if you can assign MULTIPLE font faces as you said.

I guess the best way is to try it out :-\

But how do you do this…

I have a texbox in Flash with text. Can I know apply to the entire textbox the font face tag??? Or do I have to put my entire text within the actionscript?

also, when I want to make textlinks, how would I do this, how do I indicate which piece of the text should be linked through AS?

thanks as always :slight_smile:

You would have to html enable your textbox then tell it to read the text as htmlText. Then you can use the font formatting HTML tags.
