Hi,
The list / combobox & a few other components in AS3 / CS3 use the
DataProvider to specify what goes in the boxes...
//Create, then fill up the data provider or pass an array to the
constructor...
var dp:DataProvider = new DataProvider();
//set the combobox's dataprovider.
myCB.dataProvider = dp
To change the style of the text, you will have to implement a Custom
CellRenderer - there is an example on this page:
http://www.rockabit.com/2008/04/15/combobox-text-formatting-in-as3/
This only sets one font up for the whole box, but hold on a minute...
If you want to display a list of fonts on the system, the first few
lines of the code in this page will tell you how to get them and then
add them to a list / combobox:
http://www.emanueleferonato.com/2008/05/21/create-a-font-browser-with-flash-as3/
So now what you need to do, is see what the data is in each row of
your list - you can do this by overriding some of the "getters" and
"setters" in your Custom CellRenderer:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/fl/controls/listClasses/CellRenderer.html#data
//Something like this:
override public function set data(value:Object):void {
var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
tf.font = value.label;
textField.setNewTextFormat(tf);
this._data = data;
}
CellRenderers are a bit fiddly to get right, but once they are
working, they are quite nice - if the code I put here does not work,
read up in the doc's because my code may be wrong...

Hi All,
Is it possible to display custom fonts in the dropdown list of a Flash cs
combobox component?
I am trying to do something as shown at
http://arulprasad.blogspot.com/2006/07/showing-list-of-fonts-in-flash-v2.html
But im getting stuck at
myCB.dropdown.listContent[i].cell.getTextFormat ();
What is the equivalent of listContent in AS3?
Thanks for your time. Any help would me much appreciated.
