Faux bold doesn't work in CS4
In CS3, I can create a clip with 2 dynamic text fields - fld1
is say, Myriad Pro and fld2 is Myriad Pro with faux bold turned on
from the properties panel. I can then do...
fld1.htmlText = <b>Bold text</b>
and fld1 text appears in bold text because the faux bold font was embedded in fld2.
CS4 doesn't have a faux bold, and when I go to the text menu and choose bold, it doesn't faux bold fld2, it actually changes the text to Myriad Pro Bold. The bold tag no longer works, neither does the strong tag. I can, however, use font face tag and set it to Myriad Pro Bold, and now fld1 will show up bold.
Now let's say I want to put all my text content in an external XML file so the client can update it and I don't want to have to explain the inner workings of Flash and tell them that they can't use the bold tag, they have to use the font face tag and set it to some random name that I come up with for the bold font library symbol (in case we don't want to use Myriad in the future).
Do I really have to set up a function to examine strings for the bold tag and replace it with the font face tag? Is there really no way to get the bold tag to work?
