Re: FLASH: Help on Text Formating

[Scott Rouse]

Check out the information about HTML formatting and text fields (Flash 5).

You can select HTML formating and then use HTML tags.....but there doesn't

seem to be a clear consensious on what tags can be used.  The book lists

seven of which I have only got four to work....


<A>, <B>, <FONT COLOR>, <FONT FACE>, <P>, <U>,   and......<BR> does work

although not listed in text.  Note that <I> nor <FONT FACE> are not in my

list of tags that I got to work and they are listed in the text.  Also look

out for Combos of tags...

line break so that I can create a list. I see in the Manual that \r is a

used for carrage return but I cannot seem to get it to work.
