underline (TextFormat.underline property)

public underline : Boolean

A Boolean value that indicates whether the text that uses this text format is underlined (true) or not (false). This underlining is similar to that produced by the <U> tag, but the latter is not true underlining, because it does not skip descenders correctly. The default value is null, which indicates that the property is undefined.

Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 6

Example

The following example creates a text field and sets the text style to underline.

this.createTextField("mytext",1,100,100,200,100);
mytext.multiline = true;
mytext.wordWrap = true;
mytext.border = true;

var myformat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
myformat.underline = true;
mytext.text = "This is my first text field object text";
mytext.setTextFormat(myformat);
