bold (TextFormat.bold property)

A Boolean value that specifies whether the text is boldface. The default value is null, which indicates that the property is undefined. If the value is true, the text is boldface.

Note: For Arabic, Hebrew, and Thai, this property works for paragraph-level formatting only.

Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Lite 2.0

Example

The following example creates a text field that includes characters in boldface.

var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
my_fmt.bold = true;

this.createTextField("my_txt", 1, 100, 100, 300, 100);
my_txt.multiline = true;
my_txt.wordWrap = true;
my_txt.border = true;
my_txt.text = "This is my text field object text";
my_txt.setTextFormat(my_fmt);
