hmm... I did this just now:
myNam = 'txtIntro'+i;
_root.createTextField(myNam, 3, 100,100, 200,0);
oLtxt = _root[myNam];
oLtxt.autoSize = true;
oLtxt.wordWrap = true;
oLtxt.selectable = false;
oLtxt.text = 'asdfasdfasdf';
which works fine...
I put the code in the first frame and put a stop in the second (but I
usually code almost everything in external scripts)
I mostly do this as well... (instead of oLtxt.text = '';)
//oLtxt.html = true;
//oLtxt.htmlText = sText;
to ensure certain characters show up in the text like ?and ' ... (plus
it enables you to use certain html tags which you could combine with
css...)
these lines are for formatting the font
//oLtxt.embedFonts = true;
//oLtxt.setTextFormat(new TextFormat('Font 1'));
but you'll need to embed the font
CTRL-L for library
press the little button on the top/right of the library bar
then choose new font
after you've inserted it you'll have to set the 'linkage' for the font
to make it accesible in actionscript
to do so rightclick the newly created font from the library and press
'linkage'
If you still can't get it to work then it might be a different version
of flash?... I use flash 7 but I went from flash 3 to flash 7 (and did
some minor actionscripting in 5 a year ago) so I'm not really up to date
about what is backward compatible in actionscript and what not....
hope this helps better...
