Re: [Flashcoders] Reading properties of a textbox [AS3]
Stuart, I'm not sure I've followed this thread thoroughly, but have you embedded a font and specified it in a text format you're using? That is, you can't just say embedFonts = true. To do that, you must embed a font in the Library, and use that font in the field's text format, controlling the field and format with AS. Are you using AS3 or AS2?

Re: [Flashcoders] Reading properties of a textbox [AS3]
When you say replace do you mean like this?
var formatter:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
formatter.italic = !currentFormat.italic;
_selectedBox.setTextFormat(formatter);

Okay, but in the simple example, you are using it for both:
Okay, but formatter should not be treated as a property of _selectedBox.
_selectedBox has no property named formatter.
This is the offending line:
if (_selectedBox.formatter.italic == false)
You already have set formatter to the value of _selectedBox.getTextFormat();
Thus your conditional should read:
if (formatter.italic == false)
To simplify it to keeping formatter separate from the current format, let's
rewrite:

var formatter:TextFormat = new TextFormat();

{
formatter.italic = true;

Re: [Flashcoders] Reading properties of a textbox [AS3]
formatter is a blank variable and has nothing to do with reading the text
propperties its used for setting them! I need to figure out how to tell if a
text field is set to italic or not! once i can do this i can fix the if
statement!
do you have any idea how to do this?
FUI - New code is this
var formatter:TextFormat = _selectedBox.getTextFormat();
if (_selectedBox.formatter.italic == false)
{
formatter.italic = true;
}
else
{
formatter.italic = false;
}
_selectedBox.setTextFormat(formatter);

Hi, Stuart,
Based on the error message sounds like maybe you are trying to access
_selectedBox.formatter or something else invalid. Can you repaste your new
code after the change?
