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>";
   }
  }
}

CSS:

@charset "utf-8";
/* CSS Document */

p
{
font-size: 24px;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #ff0000;
text-align:left;
}

I really hope it's something simple I've overlooked, but I just can't seem to figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

first of all, i didnt look at your code but strngly I can tel that DO NOT use
@charset "utf-8";
/* CSS Document */

in your CSS file. it is a problem in As3 parser.
