underline (TextFormat.underline property)
public underline : Boolean
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.
Note: For Arabic, Hebrew, and Thai, this property works for paragraph-level formatting only.
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Lite 2.0
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 text field object text";
mytext.setTextFormat(myformat);
url (TextFormat.url property)
public url : String
Indicates the URL that text in this text format hyperlinks to. If the url property is an empty
string, the text does not have a hyperlink. The default value is
null, which indicates that the
property is undefined.
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Lite 2.0
