by the way..is it possible to set the text color in the external file?
thought of changing the color of the text when different buttons are moused over... using the same dynamic text box...

No problem. :P

Yeah, you could set the html property of the text field to true, and use the <font> tag to specify the color. :)

Doesn't matter, you can still use HTML tags.

Nope, only use the <font> tag.

Here's a quick example:

this.createTextField("my_txt", 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);
my_txt.autoSize ="left";
my_txt.html = true;
my_txt.htmlText = "<font face='verdana' size='10' color='#FF0000'>red text</font>";

It's not that complex once you get the hang of it. ;)

And I've never printed anything in Flash, I can't help you with that. Start a new thread and someone might help you. :P
