I use a set of classes that do what you seem to need. I can't give you the source without losing my job but basically it works like this...
TextView class handles creating the textbox itself and has a few other methods... setText(t) - takes t and sets the textField.htmlText property to the return vale of renderHTMLText(t) renderHTMLText(t) - returns something along the lines of return '<p class="' + fontStyle + '">' + t + '</p>'; where fontStyle is the reference to the css style you want to apply to the field... so if you just want the unstyled text from the textField you can call getText() on the TextView which will return textField.text - which has no style... I came in half-way through this thread by the looks of things so I could have missed the point, hope this helps, though T -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of grimmwerks Sent: 30 October 2006 06:39 To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: Re: [Flashcoders] CSS question.. Thanks Alain - one more question. I'm trying to have a way for a client to change the styles of text using CSS; originally I thought CSS killed an inputText, but it still seems to work. But I'm unsure how best to grab the text, assign <p class='whatever'> </p> around the text and throw it back... _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
