TextField.htmlText

Availability

Flash Player 6.

Usage

my_txt.htmlText:String

Description

Property; if the text field is an HTML text field, this property contains the HTML representation

of the text field’s contents. If the text field is not an HTML text field, it behaves identically to the

text property. You can indicate that a text field is an HTML text field in the Property inspector,

or by setting the text field’s

html property to true.

Example

The following example creates a text field that sets the html property to true. HTML-formatted

text displays in the text field.

this.createTextField("my_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 10, 160, 22);

my_txt.html = true;

my_txt.htmlText = "<b> this is bold text </b>";
