TextArea Component Tutorial 2

Published : November 14, 2014   •   Last Edited : November 24, 2025   •   Author : Adam Khoury
In this Flash and ActionScript 3.0 tutorial you can learn how to format the text being sent into your textArea Component instances. You can set the size, colors, underline, bold, make links, and many other things using familiar HTML code structure in the strings. You can also have the HTML code fed into the string before it even reaches flash if you are calling the text in from an external source, like a PHP script that communicates with a MySQL database.
