ActionScript 3 Labels Bold

Question

I am dynamically adding labels to a form and I would like to set some of them to be bold. I can;t seem to find an easy way to make a label bold in ActionScript. It is very easy to do in MXML. I would think that it would simply be an attribute that is set. How do you make a label bold?

Answer 1

myLabel.setStyle("fontWeight", "bold");

Answer 2

Hmm... the easiest way I would do it would be using the htmlText property, eg:

label.htmlText = "<b> Hello </b>";
