scrollable text can't be multicolor?

[jule4489]

I am having a dynamic text field, scrollable and some lines are a different color than others. I can set it up in my flash file, but when I test the movie I see the complete text in one color.

Can anyone help? I have looked through several books and tutorials and can't find anything on it. I am new to Flash (MX, 6.0). Please explain in simple terms. I DO APPRECIATE IT!

If you're typing your text directly in the textfield, you'll end up with one color only.
You need to use html formated text, and the "font color" tag, to have different colored lines...

or CSS formatting with class tags in the textfield, with html formatting.

(just as a slight alternative to oldnewbie's)

BUT, since she/he is using Flash (MX, 6.0). doesn't that mean that she/he CANT use CSS cuz that's new to MX 2004/ 7.0 ?
