formatting a textfield

[Vasudevelopa]

I have a textfield in flash whose data is being pulled from an xml file. I need to format the text and I came across two methods for that:

txtField.setTextFormat(txtFormat);
and
txtField.htmlText = ...;

Text formats have the functionality I want(being able to set font, size, bold, color) but they apply the same format to all the text in the field.

HTML text doesn't seem to recognize certain tags, like the font tag.

So does anyone know how I can format text to be something like this for example:

Header text

Body text with bold etc.

htmlText will recognize the font tag and textFormat can be set to only certian areas of the text.
Try this:

createTextField("myText", 1, 0, 0, 200, 30);
createTextField("myText2", 2, 0, 40, 200, 30);
myFormat = new TextFormat();
myFormat.font = "Arial";
myFormat.size = 12;
myFormat.color = 0xFF0000;

myText2.text = "i am some body text";
myText2.setTextFormat(myFormat);

myFormat.bold = true;
myFormat.color = 0x000000;

sIdx = myText2.text.indexOf("body");
eIdx = sIdx + 4;
myText2.setTextFormat(sIdx, eIdx, myFormat);
myFormat.size = 16;
myText.text = "Header 1";
myText.setTextFormat(myFormat);

Or this for htmlText

createTextField("myText", 1, 0, 0, 200, 30);
createTextField("myText2", 2, 0, 40, 200, 30);
myText.html = true;
myText2.html = true;
myText.htmlText = "<font face=\"arial\" color=\"#000000\" size=\"18\"><b>Header 1</b></font>";
myText2.htmlText = "<font face=\"arial\" color=\"#FF0000\">i am some <font color=\"#000000\"><b>body</b></font> text</font>";

Awesome. I wasn't using quotes in my font tag. Thanks
