Is it possible have the css code within the main .FLA without having it externally?

[Guest]

I'm trying to have everything within one .FLA because this file will be moved around everywhere and having an external CSS posses a liability and something not working right, so I've been looking around the net with no luck so I'm here asking...

Is it possible to have all of it in one frame and just call for it when needed. So far I've been able to simplify the as2 code to call the CSS but still can't make it be within the .FLA (still requires an external file)

this is in frame one.

var format = new TextField.StyleSheet();

format.load("flash.css");

output.styleSheet = format;

output.text = "<br><p class='one'>I don't like external files.</p>";

it works well... but like i said...

Thank you in advance for your time and response

also...

does flash hate border styles?... can't get them to work...

you can define css styles on your timeline.

That's where I'm left in blank.... I tried just putting in the css style into a frame but no luck, flash doesn't recognize it as a code, so I don't know the proper way to do this...

eg:

var styles:TextField.StyleSheet = new TextField.StyleSheet();

styles.setStyle("bodyText", {fontFamily: 'Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif', fontSize: '12px'}

);

styles.setStyle("headline", {fontFamily: 'Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif',fontSize: '24px'}

);

so this way I dont have the same "creative styles" as a CSS, for example a bottom border (having the opportunity to make a double-bold underline)?

you must open flash.css and convert the css there into code formatted the way i showed (or something similar).  you'll need to set a style for each style used in your html text and listed in your css file.
