so i'm using flash 8 and loading a .txt file into the .SWF through a dynamic text field. I have clicked on render text as html and i have tried the "" and the "" tags to get an italic and it still doesn't work ...any ideas?

#1 you should create a font symbol [library > right upper corner > new font], give it a name and include bold/italics
#2 right click > linkage > export for actionscript
#3 choose that font name in the properties bar's font list. It shoudl have an * after the font name.
#4 as long as the font as italics and your using the corect italic html tags there shoul be no problem.

#1 the font family has to have italic
#2 I forgot to mentiuon that you should embed the font: properties panel > character > specify ranges > basic latin + latin 1 [for example]
#if this doesn't work, try using MM device fonts instead of your font symbol. choose _sans/_serif and disable character embedding. The italics should appear....

i'm using verdana...i'm pretty sure it has a italic family...for some reason ...when i turn it to use device fonts. the italic turns up but i much rather choose the bitmap fonts cause it looks crisper on the screen but if i use what i was doing previously it does not display the italic
