Convert AS3 'setTextFormat' to Javascript.

Question

In Actionscript 3 I could format the text of parts of a text field.

myTextField.setTextFormat(myTextFormat, 3, 6);

How can I do this with Javascript?

I am using jQuery:

$("#myTextField").css('font-size', "20px");

Then it's an HTML input textfield element, and you style it like any other HTML element, using CSS. Animate has no native functionality for this.

Are you talking about a component textfield, or a native Animate textfield?

If it's an Animate textfield, in Canvas documents they only support a single text styling for the entire textfield. No mixed formatting. This is an intrinsic limitation of the HTML5 canvas text API (thanks Apple!). To change the properties of the textfield, just assign to the property you want to change, e.g.--

this.myTextField.color = "#FF0000";
