Partial Input text formatting at runtime

Hi there,

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to format partial parts of an input text box at runtime. I have seen a few “text editors” around which are built in flash so i am assuming it is posible but i would like to know the extent of developement on this. My idea is much more simple than the text editor.

Basically i just need to be able to change the format of a specific word or two in a string, which the user has entered in the user input box, on specific words…

for example. image writing some text in MS word, and the last word written is wrong “spelled incorectly” it is then immidiately underlined… this is the effect i’m after. i have the code working producing errors in a seperate output box. but i need it to change the input text dynamically at run time.

any ideas?

thank you
