TextFormat.underline
Availability
Flash Player 6.
Usage
my_fmt.underline:Boolean
Description
Property; a Boolean value that indicates whether the text that uses this text format is underlined
(
true) or not (false). This underlining is similar to that produced by the <U> tag, but the latter
is not “true” underlining, because it does not skip descenders correctly. The default value is
null,
which indicates that the property is undefined.
Example
The following example creates a text field and sets the text style to underline.
this.createTextField("mytext",1,100,100,200,100);
mytext.multiline = true;
mytext.wordWrap = true;
mytext.border = true;
var myformat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
myformat.underline = true;
mytext.text = "this is my first test field object text";
mytext.setTextFormat(myformat);
