I don't think you can. You should stick to using the Halo TextArea component or you should investigate the Text Layout Framework to accomplish your goals.

David Gassner's Flashbuilder 4 & Flex 4 has a section on this. Take a look at TextFlowUtil. If you want to embed the HTML directly into the Spark TextArea (or RichText / RichEditableText), you can use the content tag as a child, then add the p or span tags thereafter - The supported HTML tags are part of the s namespace too.

If you're using the RichEditableText component instead, you can do it this way using the TextConverter class var myStr:String = "I contain html tags! "; myRichEditableText. TextFlow = TextConverter.

ImportToFlow(myStr, TextConverter. TEXT_FIELD_HTML_FORMAT).

It can be also used in spark textArea: var myStr:String = "I contain html tags! "; textAarea. TextFlow = TextConverter.

ImportToFlow(myStr, TextConverter. TEXT_FIELD_HTML_FORMAT); This sometime will not work, if the HTML code is big and have some tags that can`t be rendered TextFlowUtil. ImportFromString(yourHTMLString).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
