Flash Lite and Text decoration

[Noeff2002]

Hello everybody,

I hope you can help me.
I am looking for a solution to color or underline Words within my text area in Flash Lite.
I parse the XML structure on my stage in different text areas and I already use different text styles within these different text areas.

Does it make sense?
Please help me

Hello Thommasc,

thanks

hey,

its me again.
I am just wondering, if the htmlText property is the right solution for me as I am parsing information from a XML file.

this.createTextField("my_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 10, 160,
22);
my_txt.html = true;
my_txt.htmlText = "<b> this is bold text </b>";

It will trace This is bold text.

But I have a path trough my XML document, similar to "this.firstChild.childNode[0].firstChild.childNode[5].nodeValue" and when I write this between <b> </> it will trace me exactly this.firstChild.childNode[0].firstChild.childNode[5].nodeValue

What can I do (to decorate this text, the value, the node)
Does it make sense?

Thanks a lot

"Does it make sense?"
Yes it makes sense... you've just started learning actionscript ??

"But I have a path trough my XML document, similar to "this.firstChild.childNode[0].firstChild.childNode[5].nodeValue" and when I write this between <b> </> it will trace me exactly this.firstChild.childNode[0].firstChild.childNode[5].nodeValue"

Did you put this code :
myText.htmlText = "this.firstChild.childNode[0].firstChild.childNode[5].nodeValue";
???

You should try this
myText.htmlText = "<b>" + xmlNode.firstChild.childNode[0].firstChild.childNode[5].nodeValue + "</>";

where xmlNode is the variable storing your XML !

Here is some code sample :

var myXML : XML = new XML();

function doSomething(node : Object) : Void
{
myText.htmlText = "<b>" + node.firstChild.childNode[0].firstChild.childNode[5].nodeValue + "</>"
}

function XMLLoadedHandler(success : Boolean) : Void
{
	if (success)
	{
		doSomething(myXML);
	}
}

myXML.onLoad = XMLLoadedHandler;
myXML.ignoreWhite = true;
myXML.load("xmlfile.xml");
