Paragraph tag

The tag creates a new paragraph. You must set the text field to be a multiline text field to

use this tag.

The

tag supports the following attributes:

■ align Specifies alignment of text within the paragraph; valid values are left, right,

justify, and center.

■ class Specifies a CSS style class defined by a TextField.StyleSheet object. (For more

information, see “Using style classes” on page 429.)

The following example uses the

align attribute to align text on the right side of a

text field.

this.createTextField("myText_txt", 1, 10, 10, 400, 100);

myText_txt.html = true;

myText_txt.multiline = true;

myText_txt.htmlText = "This text is aligned on the

right side of the text field";

The following example uses the class attribute to assign a text style class to a tag:

var myStyleSheet:TextField.StyleSheet = new TextField.StyleSheet();

myStyleSheet.setStyle(".blue", {color:'#99CCFF', fontSize:18});

this.createTextField("test_txt", 10, 0, 0, 300, 100);

test_txt.html = true;

test_txt.styleSheet = myStyleSheet;

test_txt.htmlText = "This is some body-styled text.</

p>.";

“Formatting text with Cascading Style Sheet styles” on page 421.) It supports the following

attribute:

■ class Specifies a CSS style class defined by a TextField.StyleSheet object. For more

so they do not modify how your list is rendered. All list items use bullets.
