According to this webpage, the htmlText property in TextArea can handle CSS text style if using span tag. I want to format multiple tags in my code. Something like:
var tags:TextArea = new TextArea();
tags.htmlText = "<span style='color: rgb(165, 150, -90);
font-size: 0.955882610016677em'>street</span>,
<span style='color: rgb(168, 143, -59); font-size: 0.98076913067067em'>
motor</span>";
It only gives me plain text. I was wondering if it is supported in the htmlText property and how do I get around this. Any ideas? Thanks!
The htmlText
supports only a limited set of tags and styles. Specifically, span supports only a class
attribute which should be the name of a class specified in a StyleSheet
object.
You can use the font
tag in this particular case. But remember that color supports only hexadecimal #ffffff
values and size
supports only absolute pixel size and relative (+2, -1 etc) size values.
tags.htmlText = "<font color="#a89433" size="10">street</font>,
<font color="#b37620" size="11">motor</font>";
