Trying to set flex richtexteditor's default font-size

Question

I just want to lock or set a default font size for the rich text editor. I tried setting font-size = 16, which although it did set the default to 16, also made all the labels etc... in the editor to font size 16.

Answer 1

You want to set the font size on the textArea of your RichTextEditor, which is a sub component of your editor. In ActionScript you could do this in a creation complete event handler like so:

myRichTextEditor.textArea.setStyle("fontSize", 16);

Hope that helps.
