I'm going to create a "news ticker" using adobe flash. I have a single line and dynamic TLFTextField with html content. The problem I have is fitting the width of the TLFTextField to the html text length. There is a "autoSize" property that I set to left. when I set the content with text property it works but when I use htmlText property it does not fit the width. my action scpript looks like this:
var ticker:TLFTextField = TLFTextField(f0);
var text:String = 'title_1 07:45 <font color="#27ae60">***</font> title_2 08:50 <font color="#27ae60">***</font> title_3 09:00 <font color="#27ae60">***</font> title_4 10:00 <font color="#27ae60">***</font> title_5 11:00 <font color="#27ae60">***</font> title_6 12:00 <font color="#27ae60">***</font> title_7 13:55';
//the text would be dynamic
ticker.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
ticker.htmlText = text;
//ticker.text = text; //when I use this the width of ticker fits the text lenght but the text is raw and html tags are not rendered
any ideas?
