  Hello

  Is there a faster way of using TextFormat to italicize a portion in the middle of a long dynamically loaded text file?

  I can use trial and error in guessing the beginning and ending index numbers but it's just taking so much time and I have 15 text files to work on.

  Please kind Flash Gurus..help this poor wet puppy... :(

  Thanks!

  Also make sure you have render as html ticked on the property inspector and then you can add it in your code.

  I would say use html tags in the text but it all depends on what you are doing. If you have a specific string in mind here is something to get you started:

  txtstring = "I can make some text italic";
  searchfor = "some text";
  istart = txtstring.indexOf(searchfor);
  iend = istart + searchfor.length;
  trace(txtstring.substring(istart...
