Description
This sample uses the many new text enhancements added to Flash MX 2004. The features highlighted in this sample are text styles, inline images, hyperlink improvements, and small text optimization. The text enhancements provide better and more precise control over text as it is entered in the Flash Player. This example loads an external HTML file named sample.html into a text field in the SWF file. However, you could use any text file that incorporates a tag-based format like XML or HTML. New support for Cascading Style Sheets allows Flash to style the text in a given text field for each tag before displaying it. This example uses a style sheet named style.css. Additionally, Flash Player supports the img tag, allowing inline images that your text will wrap around.
