Hi all,

I'm trying to format text using a stylesheet with different fonts. However, I'm having real difficulty getting it to work. Here's the code:

Code:

//TRY normal way

this.createTextField("tLabel", this.getNextHighestDepth(),100, 100, 100, 20);
tLabel.text = "abcdefg";
tLabel.embedFonts = true;
var stdText:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
stdText.font = "Verdana";
stdText.bold = false;
stdText.size = 11;
tLabel.setTextFormat(stdText);

//TRY with style sheet

//Set the link style
var cssStyles:TextField.StyleSheet = new TextField.StyleSheet();
cssStyles.setStyle(".stdtext", {fontFace: "Verdana", fontSize: "11",color: "#373737"});
cssStyles.setStyle(".stdheadline", {fontFace: "Arial", fontSize: "11",color: "#000000"});

_root.createTextField("slide_x",this.getNextHighestDepth(),200, 100, 100, 20);
_root['slide_x'].styleSheet = cssStyles;
_root['slide_x'].multiline = true;
_root['slide_x'].wordWrap = true;
_root['slide_x'].condenseWhite = true;
_root['slide_x'].embedFonts = true;
_root['slide_x']._alpha = 100;
_root['slide_x'].html = true;
_root['slide_x'].htmlText = "<span class='stdheadline'>Font 1</span><span class='stdtext'>Font 2</span>";

The first way works fine - with stdText.font = "Verdana"; linking to my linkage identifier in the library. The second way doesn't work, unless I get rid of embedFonts = true;. And, thinking about it, how should the stylesheet know about the linkage? Anyway, I'm stumped. Anyone got any ideas?

Cheers,

Leon
