    TextFormat

    Ron Colmen Community Member

      There are 5 buttons. Each button removes previously created textfields (previewTx) and creates a new textfield using an embeded font type.

       

      Below is the code. Is there better way of achieveing this?

       

      txX = 10

      txY = 0;

      txW = 530;

      txH = 20;

       

      var csFormat0:TextFormat = new TextFormat();

      csFormat0.font = "Times";

      csFormat0.size = 16;

      csFormat0.color = 0x000000;

      csFormat0.align = "center";

      function fontt0() {

      previewTx.removeTextField();

      this.createTextField("previewTx", 5000, txX, txY, txW, txH);

      previewTx.setNewTextFormat(csFormat0);

      fontInfo();

      }

       

      var csFormat1:TextFormat = new TextFormat();

      csFormat1.font = "arial";

      csFormat1.size = 16;

      csFormat1.color = 0x000000;

      csFormat1.align = "center";

      function fontt1() {

                previewTx.removeTextField();

      this.createTextField("previewTx", 5000, txX, txY, txW, txH); 

      previewTx.setNewTextFormat(csFormat1);

      fontInfo();

      }

       

      function fontInfo() {

                previewTx.embedFonts = true;

                previewTx.selectable = true;

                previewTx.text = "ABCDE";

                previewTx.border = true;

                previewTx.type = "input";

                previewTx.multiline = true;

                previewTx.wordWrap = true;

      }

       

      font0.onRelease = function () {

                          fontt0();

      }

      font1.onRelease = function () {

                          fontt1();

      }

          you could use one font function:

           

          function fontF(n:Number):Void{

          previewTx.removeTextField();

          this.createTextField("previewTx", 5000, txX, txY, txW, txH); 

          previewTx.setNewTextFormat(this["csFormat"+n]);

          fontInfo();

          }

           

           

          for(var i:Number=0;i<fontNum:i++){

          this["font"+i].ivar=i;

          this["font+i].onRelease=function(){

          fontF(this.ivar);

          }

          }

           

          // and if the only difference among your textformats is the font, you could create one textformat and change its font property in fontF and that would save a lot of repetitive code.
