So I want to do a dynamic drop cap in a text field, and I know I can do this:
var tString:String = "<img src='com.myclasses.DropCap' style='padding:0px;margin:0px'/> Cras sit amet arcu. Vestibulum condimentum risus ac metus. Vivamus in purus id leo molestie convallis. Donec ipsum. Sed vulputate urna sed erat. Vivamus tellus elit, accumsan non, sodales quis, semper sit amet, risus. Phasellus eu augue sit amet libero facilisis pretium. Nullam urna massa, adipiscing a, lobortis nec, vehicula ut, lorem. Ut imperdiet elit nec sapien. In hac habitasse platea dictumst. Quisque congue. In a velit. Praesent interdum purus a diam. Ut turpis justo, viverra quis, dignissim at, aliquam sit amet, turpis. Morbi non lacus at lacus commodo dignissim. Nulla in quam eu massa scelerisque elementum. Curabitur mollis egestas leo. Morbi pulvinar nisl sed lacus. Quisque eu orci."; myTextField.htmlText = tString; In which DropCap is an MC in the library with a Class of com.myclasses.DropCap. What I cant figure out is, how (if its even possible) can I speak to that Movieclip once its in the Textfield? I want to set the character that appears in the DropCap, so do something like DropCap.txt.text = "Z", but if I try that it throws an error. Does anyone know of a way to make this work? tia, .matt _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
