Paragraph tag

The <p> tag creates a new paragraph. You must set the text field to be a multiline text field to use this tag.

The <p> tag supports the following attributes:

• align Specifies alignment of text within the paragraph; valid values are left, right, justify, and center.
• class Specifies a CSS style class defined by a TextField.StyleSheet object. (For more information, see Using style classes.)

  The following example uses the align attribute to align text on the right side of a text field.

  this.createTextField("myText_txt", 1, 10, 10, 400, 100);
  myText_txt.html = true;
  myText_txt.multiline = true;
  myText_txt.htmlText = "<p align='right'>This text is aligned on the right side of the text field</p>";
  

  The following example uses the class attribute to assign a text style class to a <p> tag:

  var myStyleSheet:TextField.StyleSheet = new TextField.StyleSheet();
  myStyleSheet.setStyle(".blue", {color:'#99CCFF', fontSize:18});
  this.createTextField("test_txt", 10, 0, 0, 300, 100);
  test_txt.html = true;
  test_txt.styleSheet = myStyleSheet;
  test_txt.htmlText = "<p class='blue'>This is some body-styled text.</p>.";
