Not sure what you are trying to do. If you want the html rendered in the text area, set the htmlText property:
<mx:TextArea x="170" y="147" height="229" width="248" id="ta"> <mx:htmlText> <![CDATA[<html> <body> Hello </body> </html>]]> </mx:htmlText> </mx:TextArea> If you want to actually display the markup as a string, set the text property: <mx:TextArea x="170" y="147" height="229" width="248" id="ta"> <mx:text> <![CDATA[<html> <body> Hello </body> </html>]]> </mx:text> </mx:TextArea> HTH, Ryan From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of markflex2007 Sent: Tuesday, January 27, 2009 2:23 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] How to assign html tag to text property Hi, I try the following code but I get error,please give me a idea to fix it.
