If the text field is populated by using ActionScript, you must specify which characters you want to embed for the text field.
But how do I do that with actionscript? Is there some property not documented? Or method to do this? I know the embed panel yes, but i want to do it with actionscript.
This doesnt help also as the comments show…http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm
//METHOD 1 WORKS
var my_txt:TextField = _root.createTextField('my_txt', i, i*10, i*10, 300, 30);
//METHOD 2 WORKS ALSO
//var mc = _root.attachMovie('mc','mc'+i,i*10,{_x:i*10, _y:i*20})
//var my_txt = mc.my_txt
my_txt.wordWrap = true;
my_txt.antiAliasType = "advanced";
my_txt.embedFonts = true;
my_txt.multiline = true;
my_txt.autoSize = true;
my_txt.border = true;
my_txt.background = true
my_txt.backgroundColor = 0xffffff;
my_txt.html = true;my_txt.htmlText = "<font color='#0000FF'>this is blue text or whatever</font> and then i guess this should be the <b>BOLD text damnit</b>";
my_txt.setTextFormat(my_fmt);
