Example

The following example creates a new text field at runtime, and puts a string with a line break into the field. The TextFormat class is used to format the characters by adding bullets to each line in the text field. This is demonstrated in the following ActionScript:

var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
my_fmt.bullet = 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"+newline;
my_txt.text += "this is more text"+newline;
my_txt.setTextFormat(my_fmt);
