how to get bullets inside dynamic text fields 1

[Flashoid]

Does anyone know how to get bullet points to display inside a dynamic text field in flash without using a css or other extremely complex method??

This is what I am using, which works fine for text but it does not display bullets.

This is in the first frame of the flash file which displays the text:

loadVariablesNum("textfile.txt", 0);

I have a dynamic text field in the same flash file labeled as Textfield and I have this in the Variable field: _level0.textpage1


The text displays fine but when I try to insert a bullet it doesn't display.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I forgot to mention that the dynamic text needs to be pulled from an external file (I know how to get the bullets to display if the dynamic text is inside flash)

thanks

Is your textfield html enabled and are you using the <li> tag?

I did and it didnt work so for the helluva it I created a new file and started from scratch and now it works (in the way you described)!

Thanks for the tip!

One question I did have is because this has the render as html setting does the user need to have the font you choose on their pc already or do I need to embed it?

I'd hate to have it substitute it with arial or something if they don't have the font I use.

thanks!

Grrrreat!

If you're not using a common standard font, I'd embed it for sure... But that has really nothing to do with the textfield being html enabled or not...
