are you trying to remove all html tags from an html-enabled textfield?

if so, save the text property of the textfield, dis-able the html property of the textfield and assign the saved text to the textfield.

Hy thanks K for so fast reply,

No, i am basically making an editor kind of thing, where some text have align=left property and some have align=right property. So while saving i am checking alignment of the text and applying in tag. Suppose i saved Text Sample now i called this string from server and applied to my TextField. Now when i am assigning this text to textfield (mytext.htmlText = someServerVariable) then its coming as Text Sample.

Some tags of font is also there which i ignored here. i just want to put same string in html text. i want to remove auto formatting property of htmlText.

if you want to replace with , you can use:

var re:RegExp = //;
var s:String = someServerVariable;
s.replace(re, '');
