You can style at the component level with RichText in Flex, but there's no ability to style individual text elements in CSS. I think this would be very handy though. We have the underlying architecture for it, if you want to build it yourself, but there's no code that links up the Flex stylesheets to TLF.

There is no "alt" capability for rollovers, either, sorry. That's an interesting suggestion, one I'd not heard before. I'll keep it in mind.

I'm not sure what you are asking for with respect to html. There is the capability to import very simple html, similar to what was done in TextField.htmlText property -- is that what you're looking for? That is available via the TextConverter class.

Hope this helps,

Thank you Robin for helpull answer, yes that what I meant by html, I will check the TextConverter Class.

I asked about CSS because my Manager want to control the Format of the text inside Flash using The CSS.

is there a way to format the TLF Markup, or what is the best suggestion instead of CSS?

I didn't try before to add any new capapilities to the architecture, if I want  to start adding this what is the place to start from or any done example that demonstrate it.

I am using Flash CS4 not Flash Builder nor Flex.

thank you again for your helpful answer.

Take a look at this example for how to connect CSS:

This CSS engine might be interesting if you find Flash's built in CSS parser to be too limited.

Hope that helps,
