A new feature in Flash MX 2004 is the ability to use imported CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) data for your text. Instead of having a large block of text using the same font, color, and style, you can use CSS to define custom text properties without having to break your text into multiple text fields.
This tutorial will briefly teach you how to apply an external CSS style to your animation. Later on, I will explain why the code works the way it does, which CSS tags are supported, and even delve into creating your own CSS tags within Flash itself. This will be fun...seriously!
