TextField.StyleSheet class
Availability
Flash Player 7.
Description
You can use the TextField.StyleSheet class to perform low-level text rendering. However, in Flex,
you typically use the Label, Text, TextArea, and TextInput controls to process text.
The TextField.StyleSheet class lets you create a style sheet object that contains text formatting
rules such as font size, color, and other formatting styles. You can then apply styles defined by a
style sheet to a TextField object that contains HTML- or XML-formatted text. The text
contained by the TextField object is then automatically formatted according to the tag styles
defined by the style sheet object. You can use text styles to define new formatting tags, redefine
built-in HTML tags, or create style classes that can be applied to certain HTML tags.
To apply styles to a TextField object, assign the style sheet object to a TextField object's
property.
