430 Working with Text and Strings
Styling built-in HTML tags
Flash Player supports a subset of HTML tags. (For more information, see “Using HTML-
formatted text” on page 436.) You can assign a CSS style to every instance of a built-in
HTML tag that appears in a text field. For example, the following code defines a style for the
built-in
<p> HTML tag. All instances of that tag are styled in the manner specified by the
style rule.
p {
font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
display: inline;
}
The following table shows which built-in HTML tags can be styled and how each style
is applied:
Style name How the style is applied
p
Affects all <p> tags.
body
Affects all <body> tags. The p style, if specified, takes precedence over the
body style.
li
Affects all <li> bullet tags.
a
Affects all <a> anchor tags.
a:link
Affects all <a> anchor tags. This style is applied after any a style.
a:hover
Applied to an <a> anchor tag when the mouse pointer is over the link. This
style is applied after any
a and a:link style.
After the mouse pointer moves off the link, the
a:hover style is removed from
the link.
a:active
Applied to an <a> anchor tag when the user clicks the link. This style is applied
after any
a and a:link style.
After the mouse button is released, the
a:active style is removed from the
link.
