Controlling text with ActionScript
A dynamic or input text field is an instance of the ActionScript TextField object. When you
create a text field, you can assign it an instance name in the Property inspector. You can use
the instance name in ActionScript statements to set, change, and format the text field and its
content using the TextField andTextFormat objects.
The TextField object has the same properties as the MovieClip object, and has methods that
let you set, select, and manipulate the text. The TextFormat object lets you set character and
paragraph values for the text. You can use these ActionScript objects instead of the text
Property inspector to control the settings of a text field.
You can use a text field’s variable name or instance name to assign it text that contains HTML
tags. Flash preserves the rich text formatting applied to the text field with ActionScript.
If you assign a variable to a text field, the text field displays the variable’s value. You can use
ActionScript to pass the variable to other parts of the Flash application, to a server-side
application for storing in a database, and so on. You can also replace the value of the variable
by reading it from a server-side application or by loading it from another part of the Flash
application. For more information on using variables, see “About variables” in
