[Xerte] text entry interaction with different font colors

[Julian Tenney]

I think you might need to update your Xerte because mine displays the markup properly.

no, it splits it on spaces, so you end up with a bunch of words (the WORD class - you can then break apart WORDs into characters I grant you). MovieClips are then created, and textFields, and their text is set. I must be setting.text rather than .htmlText.There might be a good reason, or it might be an oversight - I'll play around and see whats going on,

break apart will break it out as individual characters.
So my guess is that your html text is also being broken into individual characters, so is no longer recognized as tags, it's just characters again and defaults to black.

You can set the text properties dynamically with code.

Hi,
I'm probably not explaining well (sorry about my english). I need to make a programming exercise with a piece of java code to complete, and I would like to put text with different colors. I'm using HTML tags, like this:

  <font color="#0000FF">public static void</font> <b><i>main</i></b>(String[] args) {
   <font color="#999999">//declara um array de inteiros</font>  
   <font color="#0000FF">int</font>[] A = <font color="#0000FF">new int</font>[ |3| ];

It works fine in preview, but when I use the code to break the words apart ( w = mainText.breakApart(3,7,false,false); ), in preview HTML tags display as text. Is there another way to do this? Anyone can help?

Thanks a lot. And I'm sorry for the repeated e-mail.

Hi,
I have a text entry exercise (interaction), and I need to write text with different font colors. When I use <font color="#000000"> example </font> in a simple text icon, it works. But when I break text apart with function myIcon.breakApart(...) to make the exercise, in preview all text colors disappear and shows all the <font> codes, like it was text.
How can I solve this? I'm using Xerte desktop version.

Thanks,
Bárbara Furtado
