The
FACE attribute specifies the name of the font to use. In Flash 6, a list of multi-

FACE attribute.

<FONT FACE="Arial,Helvetica">my text</FONT>, Flash
will render “my text” in Helvetica if Arial is missing but Helvetica is present. See
TextFormat.font for details. For a function that picks an appropriate font from the
user’s system, see TextField.getFontList().
SIZE
The
SIZE attribute specifies the size of the tagged text as a fixed point size (such
as
<FONT SIZE="18">) or as a relative size. Relative point sizes are preceded by a +

<FONT SIZE="–2"> displays the tagged text at 12-point. See also TextFormat.size.
COLOR
The
COLOR attribute specifies the color of the tagged text, as a hexadecimal num-

is red text</FONT>
. Specify the hexadecimal number as an RGB series ...
