I'm using flash 8 and am trying to develop something where the user inputs some text in a "input text" box, then through a button or drop down menu selects a font and the inputed text is displayed in the font they chose.
This is what I have so far:
A dynamic Text box that displays the text
an input text box where the user inputs their text
and, for right now, some buttons that correspond to different fonts.
My dynamic text box has the variable font2 and the buttons have the following action script:
on (keyPress "<Left>", release ) {
font2 = "<font face=\"Arial\" >Arial</font>";
}
The "render text as html" button is on.
I need to know how to change the second "Arial" with whatever is inputed into the input text box so that it displays the users text and not the word, ariel.
I have scoured forums and see people trying to do the same thing, but I haven't found a solution. I'm a newbie to flash too. Thanks for any help.
