AS3: Adding styles to a TextField() using a new StyleSheet() object

Published in: ActionScript 3 

This doesn't show you how to load an external style sheet but it simulates what would happen if the stylesheet.css had already been loaded. Note! There is no simple way of applying a stylesheet to a TextArea component in Flash CS3

Plain TextExpand 
  1. var style:StyleSheet = new StyleSheet();
  2. style.parseCSS("h4{color:#ff0000; fontWeight:bold; fontSize:30;}a:link{text-decoration: none;}a:hover{text-decoration: underline;}");
  3. var ti:TextField = new TextField();
  4. ti.x = 150;
  5. ti.y = 150;
  6. ti.width = 100;
  7. ti.height = 100;
  8. ti.styleSheet = style;
  9. ti.htmlText = "<h4>library</h4>";
  10. ti.htmlText += "<p><a href=\"event:http://www.usc.edu\" target=\"_blank\">science</a></p>";
  11. addChild(ti);
