HI all,

I'm trying to get superscript for numbers to work using the unicodes of the font.
Anyone know of a hack to achieve this ?

I managed to get it to work with unicodes and if i create a dynamic textfield and within flash specify the characters i want to embed and then did this:
myText.html= "testing /u2074";
off the top of my head /u2074 will display 2 in superscript.

The font i'm using is palatino which has all the superscript codes for numbers 1-9.

The problem is i need to read the text from an external xml file. I've put the text i want in cdata so /u2074 will be read.

I'm reading the node with the cdata into myText.html and what it displays is:
testing /u2074 instead of testing 2.(that 2 should be superscript)

Anyone have any ideas or managed to achieve this :D ?

i'm looking for an answer to this too.
but the old-ness of this thread, and lack of response is disheartening.

edit: it might work if you took the CDATA tags out, as then it would read it as a unicode character rather than html. but if your situation is like mine, you need the CDATA because you need the html formatting... i have html lists, so i need the CDATA tags.
