One field two words

programming flash

Hi guys

wondered if i have one text field with two words, one needs to be bold and one regular.
Is there an AS3 code which can achieve it ?

Thanks

Yes, the setTextFormat method of TextField allows you supply the beginning and ending index of the text you want to change the format of.

Thanks TheCanadian

This is the script i used, Two text elements, one background which grows/shrinks according to both text fields and one mask for the business:

field1.harmonicTextField.text = “First”;
field1.harmonicTextField.width = field1.harmonicTextField.textWidth+10
field2.harmonicTextField.text = “Second”;
field2.harmonicTextField.width = field2.harmonicTextField.textWidth+10
field2.x = field1.x+field1.width+10;
//box_mc1.width = field1.harmonicTextField.width+field2.harmonicTextField.width+100;
BG1.x = field1.harmonicTextField.textWidth+field2.harmonicTextField.textWidth-1360;
mask1.x = field1.harmonicTextField.textWidth+field2.harmonicTextField.textWidth-1360;

Thanks again
