I'm just trying to get flash to render bold text in a dynamic text field with an embedded font, using data I've imported from an xml file using CDATA. Anyone know how to do this?
XML File:
<description><![CDATA[ FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS, <b>SUPERFAD</b> HAS WORKED CLOSELY WITH THE <b>MARTIN AGENCY</b> TO VISUALIZE THE ORIGINAL WORKS OF <b>SPORT CAMPAIGN</b>. THE CAMPAIGN SPOTLIGHTS THE EXTREME ATHLETES OF THE VARIOUS EVENTS AS ARTISTS IN THEIR OWN WORLD, USING THE TOOLS OF THEIR SPORT TO CREATE LASTING WORKS OF ART]]></description>
and as3 code:
project_desc = myXML.projects.project[cp].description.toUpperCase();
container.header.t_desc.htmlText = project_desc;
Wrap the text you want to be bold in span tags with a class name.
Then use a StyleSheet object to style it within your actionScript.
Don't forget to import the styleSheet class!
More info on the StyleSheet class here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/text/StyleSheet.html
