Using the TextField class
The onCSSFileLoaded() method calls the getTextStyle() method twice to convert a CSS style declaration into a
TextFormat object for use with each of the two HeadlineTextField objects.
public function getTextStyle(styleName:String, ss:StyleSheet):TextFormat
{
var format:TextFormat = null;
}
var style:Object = ss.getStyle(styleName);
if (style != null)
{
var colorStr:String = style.color;
if (colorStr != null && colorStr.indexOf("#") == 0)
{
style.color = colorStr.substr(1);
}
format = new TextFormat(style.fontFamily,
style.fontSize,
style.color,
(style.fontWeight == "bold"),
(style.fontStyle == "italic"),
(style.textDecoration == "underline"),
style.url,
style.target,
style.textAlign,
style.marginLeft,
style.marginRight,
style.indent,
style.leading);
if (style.hasOwnProperty("letterSpacing"))
{
format.letterSpacing = style.letterSpacing;
}
}
return format;
The property names and the meaning of the property values differ between CSS style declarations and TextFormat
objects. The getTextStyle() method translates CSS property values into the values expected by the TextFormat
object.

The StoryLayout class formats and lays out the headline, subtitle, and main text fields into a newspaper-style
arrangement. The displayText() method initially creates and places the various fields.
