Question

I’m trying to output a sentence containing 4 variables, with their values emboldened using the following code:

<mx:Text width='100%' y='307'>     <mx:htmlText>         <![CDATA[Showing data from <b>{labelStartTime.text} {labelStartDate.text}</b> to <b>{labelEndTime.text} {labelEndDate.text}</b>]]>     </mx:htmlText> </mx:Text> 

However, this just outputs the variable names, rather than their values. I’m sure I’m missing something simple, but I’d appreciate any pointers.

Cheers.

I know of a workaround:

Actionscript:

private var variable:String = 'Variable String'; private var str:String = '<i><b>' + Variable + '</b></i>'; 

Mxml:

<Text htmlText='{str}' />
