john, colin here.

it sounds like you are saying there's a method for controlling the

font-style, weight, size, etc. of a single text field variable?


eg. suppose i have a text field variable on the main movie stage called

"var1", and i then execute an action like this:

set variable: "var1" = "hi there my name is colin."


are you saying that while assigning the text "hi there my name is colin" to

var1, i could also make "hi there" bold arial 18 pt,  "my" italic, and "name

is colin" times new roman 12 pt in a different colour?


if so, i'd be interested in hearing how.
