One of the big new features in Flash MX is the far greater degree of control we have over text. Previously, if we wanted to change the font in a text field, we needed to format the text as HTML, but fortunately, now we have the textFormat object. This avoids the need to have tags strewn throughout our variables if we want to display them in any other way than plain text. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
