Could you explain what you're trying to do alittle better...the more details you provide, the better we can assist you.

you can put some html code into textfields, but flash textfields only recognize html 1.0 code, so you get stuff like: <b>,<i>, <u> <font> and a couple of others.

Dunno if it's compatible for FMX as well, for FMX04 it is anyway...

You can use basic html in textfields like tg said, besides that you can load html- and css-files into an swf and apply them to a textfield. Furthermore you can do some layout-stuff using the textfield-properties and (last but not least

) the textformat-object...

NOTE: You can't use both external css-files AND the textformat-object, you gotta choose, sucky ey?

Hi

sorry for diggin up a old thread, but i find the above handy.

What I am having problems with, I am trying to set the target of my link to _blank but it seems to not let me do that? Is something so simple not possible?

Thanks for the links posted about btw!

Hi Diego74
You have a spanish name. Are you spanish?

Didn't know there were spanish guys around here.

I had the same problem. Use target="other" instead. It worked for me, both in IE and Firefox.

Have fun!
