Stylesheet (Textfield.stylesheet) - MACROMEDIA FLASH 8-ACTIONSCRIPT 2.0 LANGUAGE Reference

StyleSheet (TextField.StyleSheet)

Object
|
+-TextField.StyleSheet
public class StyleSheet
extends Object
The StyleSheet class lets you create a StyleSheet object that contains text formatting rules for
font size, color, and other styles. You can then apply styles defined by a style sheet to a
TextField object that contains HTML- or XML-formatted text. The text in the TextField
object is automatically formatted according to the tag styles defined by the StyleSheet object.
You can use text styles to define new formatting tags, redefine built-in HTML tags, or create
style classes that you can apply to certain HTML tags.
To apply styles to a TextField object, assign the StyleSheet object to a TextField object's
property.

ActionScript property name is derived from the corresponding CSS property name; if the
name contains a hyphen, the hyphen is omitted and the subsequent character is capitalized.)
