Chapter 27. Text Display and Input > Formatting Text Fields

27.3. Formatting Text Fields

ActionScript provides three different tools for applying text formatting: the flash.text.TextFormat class, HTML, and the flash.text.StyleSheet class. All three tools offer control over the following paragraph and character formatting options, but use different syntax:


Paragraph-level formatting

Alignment, indentation, bullets, leading (line spacing, pronounced "led-ing"), tab stops


Character-level formatting

Font face, font size, font weight (bold or normal), font color, font style (italic or normal), kerning, letter spacing (tracking), text underline, hypertext links
