I spent sometime working with putting HTML formatted text into a Director field. First step is to format the text into HTML code and put it into a “field” member or a varible. Then make the “html” of a “text” member have the text of the field.
I have found that I needed to fill the “Text” member with html formatted text when the movie starts; otherwise, it didn’t always work and was frustrating to figure out why.
Example using a variable.
htmltext = “<html><body bgcolor=’ffffff’>”
put “<table width=’685′ border=’0′ cellpadding=’3′>” after htmltext
put “<tr ><td width=’75’><font color=’#000000′ size=” face=’Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif’>TD #1</font></td>\
<td width=’70’><font color=’#000000′ size=’3′ face=’Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif’>TD #2</font></td>\
<td width=’70’><font color=’#000000′ size=’2′ face=’Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif’>TD #3</font></td>\
<td width=’450′><font size=’2′ face=’Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif’><a href=’somelink’>Da Link</a></font></td>\
</tr>” after htmltext
put “</table></body></html>” after htmltext
member(“show text”).html = htmltext
