Hi,

I’m trying to style a textfield using an external css file. All of the tutorials and previous forum posts I’ve found seem to suggest the same method, which I think I have followed correctly. However, it doesn’t seem to work for some reason.

Actioscript code:

package {

  import flash.display.Sprite;

  import flash.text.TextField;

  import flash.events.Event;

  import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize;

  import flash.text.StyleSheet;

  import flash.net.URLLoader;

  import flash.net.URLRequest;

  public class cssText extends Sprite {

    private var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(  );

    private var field:TextField = new TextField(  );

    public function cssText():void {

         loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoadCSS);

         var cssFile:URLRequest = new URLRequest("test.css");

         loader.load(cssFile);

    }

    private function onLoadCSS(event:Event):void {

      var css:StyleSheet = new StyleSheet();

      css.parseCSS(URLLoader(event.target).data);

         field.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;

         field.wordWrap = true;

         field.width = 200;

         addChild(field);

         field.styleSheet = css;

         field.htmlText ="<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Donec pretium mauris nec justo. Vestibulum tellus. Nulla euismod nibh vitae lorem. Ut ut sapien. Maecenas viverra urna non tellus. Curabitur ultricies lorem quis diam. Sed est lectus, gravida sed, placerat non, sagittis id, leo. Nullam ligula dolor, interdum sit amet, sodales ut, condimentum eu, dui.</p>";

   }

  }

}
