Changeing font to "bold"

[g_rochford]

Hi

I am loading some text from an external .txt file into a dynamic textfield in Flash. Does anyone know how I can change the paragraph headings to bold I've tried putting <b> </b> around the headings but it doesnt seem to work.

However the <p> </p> paragraph settings do? very confused.

Thanks

Greg

<b></b> should work, just ensure that the text box is set to interpet html...

[g_rochford]

Is that the check box in the middle of the three next to where it say Multiline. When i hover over it it says Render Text as HTML?

I have had this button pressed all along

this is the code im using to load the external .txt file

loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("main.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function() {
main.html = true;
main.htmlText = this.main;
};

Try this: make a 'dummy' textfield where you have bold type of your font embedded.

Hi Scotty

If i check the Bold button in the text field i get the bold headers but nothing else?

this is what i want to write

main=<b>December 12, 2006</b><br />
Phil's new album Joy is set for release on March 12, 2007. The first single will be Cold Engines. You can hear the entire album on the jukebox. EnJOY!</p>
<p><b>December 7, 2006</b><br />
Phil has just finished recording his new album Joy which will be released in March 2007. Prior to this, Phil will tour Scotland and the UK in January and February, so please be sure to check the site for updates and news on gigs.</p>
