Thanks to you all, even Steven! ;-) I now use setNewTextFormat again, which worked and works best for me. It works not in combination with htmlText, so I still use plain text for my input fields. I make a note to myself to not trying to change again. :-)))
@Bianca: Yes this workaround with react on getting focus is possible but makes things very complicated. @Arul: I am not so convinced of using onLoad(), because I don't see any advantages, because my MovieClips are made by classes only and everything they use like embedded fonts are already existent/loaded to the flashplayer, that I am sure. And in the API Doc stands "You use this handler only with movie clips for which you have a symbol in the library that is associated with a class.", so I don't know, if it makes a difference to my textfield problem. I am going to check this.. @Steven: I am into Flash for a while now! I am not going back! :-) I don't like to always wait for one frame, because these frames would become more&more the more UI classes I would attach within the configUI methods of their parents.. you know. Hacks and workaround are not so special to ActionScript, I think. I think, Javascript is beating AS a lot since AJAX arrived. But thanks to all again for sharing their suggestions and experience, because this is, what makes Flashcoders and the Flash community that great.
