Is it built in, or is it possible to have strikethrough text (like the <s>
tag in HTML> in Flash?

After much cursing at Macromedia for not including something as simple as a
Strikethrough option for text, I wrote this. It's quick, it's easy, and it
works. Flash MX 2004 supports CSS my ass.


tfNewfield.text = "This is a test to see if dynamic text can have a strike
through it!";
tfNewfield.autoSize = true;

var newclip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("someshapes", 2);
var bounds_obj:Object = tfNewfield.getBounds(this);

with (newclip) {
lineStyle(1, 0xFF0000, 100);
//diagnol strike
moveTo(tfNewfield._x, tfNewfield._y + tfNewfield._height);
lineTo(tfNewfield._x + tfNewfield._width, tfNewfield._y);
//straight strike
midh = ((tfNewfield._y + tfNewfield._height) / 2) + (tfNewfield._y / 2);
lineStyle(1, 0xFF0000, 100);
moveTo(tfNewfield._x, midh);
lineTo(tfNewfield._x + tfNewfield._width, midh);
}
