TextField.StyleSheet class

Availability

Flash Player 7.

Description

The TextField.StyleSheet class lets you create a style sheet object that contains text formatting rules such as font size, color, and other formatting styles. You can then apply styles defined by a style sheet to a TextField object that contains HTML- or XML-formatted text. The text contained by the TextField object is then automatically formatted according to the tag styles defined by the style sheet object. You can use text styles to define new formatting tags, redefine built-in HTML tags, or create style classes that can be applied to certain HTML tags.

To apply styles to a TextField object, assign the style sheet object to a TextField object's styleSheet property.
