Changing Text Appreance

[stocktonlad]

I've got a dynamic text box on my frame with text in it. My text box has a var name of "txtText"

I want to be able the user to click a button and the text will change size, font style, colour etc.

I am really struggling with setTextFormat(), set NewTextFormat and new TextFormat();

Any ideas.

Cheers

In your button's click handler function, just do something like this:

// Create a Courier font, 20pt, red color and bold (true)
// See the help files for TextFormat for other options.
var textFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat("Courier", 20, 0xFF0000, true);

// Apply the TextFormat we just created to the myTextField object
myTextField.setTextFormat(textFormat);
