Does anyone know if you can format text in the text area component. I have
created text in Word with paragraphs etc. When I paste it into a text area
component it appears as a continuous stream of text. I have selected text wrap.

I am using v.2 components (MX2004) with OSX.

Thanks,

Duncan

Witin flash, you can use limited HTML style formating for text areas.
You will need to set the HTML property for the textarea to true.
Not sure if it can be done through a panel, but it can be done with action
script.

You can't copy paste and maintain formatting . Flash does not support that.
You need to format it manually in flash .

Thanks.
Your suggestions have enabled me to solve the problem. For anyone else
struggling with this...

First I created a word document and saved it as a plain text(.txt) file.
After typing out my text content I added html tags, testing it in Internet
Explorer. Then I simply copied and pasted the contents of my .txt file into
the text field of the text area component. This seems to work. Hurrah!
