Re: tlfTextField - Highlight a part of text with "Code"

Thank you for your prompt reply.

Well, I checked that and noted "TextFormat" does not have any of these properties:background

backgroundColor

I may use another method like this:

    function setFont(tlfTxt:TLFTextField):void {

    var tlf:TextLayoutFormat = new TextLayoutFormat();

    var textFlow:TextFlow;

    tlf.color = 0xffee66;

    tlf.backgroundColor = 0xff66ee;

    //set new format to tlfTxt

    textFlow = tlfTxt.textFlow;

    textFlow.hostFormat = tlf;

    textFlow.flowComposer.updateAllControllers();

    }

Then "TextLayoutFormat" have the property "backgroundColor". But still, it does not have "background" property so that I set it to true (even for the whole text). So nothing happens when I add/remove that line.

I wonder how this is possible inside Flash CS6, but not with actionscript?

In Flash:

- You Double click on any part of text inside "TLF Text" to select it.

- Then you click on "Highlight" and select a color.

- You change different regions of the textfield to different colors.
