How does one apply rich text to Flash at runtime? Specifically, I need to dynamically create bullet-points and paragraphs with line breaks.

Answer 1

Use a TextField and set it's htmlText property to the text with markup.

Answer 2

if you're using the Text Layout Framework, you can convert your textFlow to import the TEXT_FIELD_HTML_FORMAT constant to achieve HTML text.

var textFlow:TextFlow = TextConverter.importToFlow(myText, TextConverter.TEXT_FIELD_HTML_FORMAT, myConfiguration);
