hi folks,

is anyone able to advise whether it is 'easily' do-able to script in Flash AS2 so that a user is able to determine the font style, colour, size of dynamic text interactively?

I've put together an app that works fine but now I'd like to provide the option for the user to choose/skin the font of the dynamic text in the displayed material 'cuz this would strengthen their learning experience when using the app.

thanx for your time in responding.

read about the textformat class. it has size and color properties that are easy to use. but if you want to control the font, you may have a tougher task.

thank you kglad,

now getting my mind around TextFormat, TextField, etc. what with these and the 'pop out' menu Colour Picker extension in the Exchange forum I believe that the resources are suitably identified that I'm going to need for achieveing my intended goal.
best wishes,

yes, to changing everything but the font. but not necessarily yes to changing the font.

hi kglad,

thank you for your response which now finds me deeply among the weeds in ActionScript 2.0 Language Reference.
