Using styles with the Label component

You can set style properties to change the appearance of a label instance. All text in a Label component instance must share the same style. For example, you can't set the color style to "blue" for one word in a label and to "red" for the second word in the same label.

If the name of a style property ends in "Color", it is a color style property and behaves differently than noncolor style properties. For more information about styles, see Using styles to customize component color and text in Using ActionScript 2.0 Components.

A Label component supports the following styles:

Style	Theme	Description
`color`	Both	The text color. The default value is 0x0B333C for the Halo theme and blank for the Sample theme.
`disabledColor`	Both	The color for text when the component is disabled. The default color is 0x848384 (dark gray).
`embedFonts`	Both	A Boolean value that indicates whether the font specified in `fontFamily` is an embedded font. This style must be set to `true` if `fontFamily` refers to an embedded font. Otherwise, the embedded font is not used. If this style is set to `true` and `fontFamily` does not refer to an embedded font, no text is displayed. The default value is `false`.
`fontFamily`	Both	The font name for text. The default value is `"_sans"`.
`fontSize`	Both	The point size for the font. The default value is 10.
`fontStyle`	Both	The font style: either `"normal"` or `"italic"`. The default value is `"normal"`.
`fontWeight`	Both	The font weight: either `"none"` or `"bold"`. The default value is `"none"`. All components can also accept the value `"normal"` in place of `"none"` during a `setStyle()` call, but subsequent calls to `getStyle()` return `"none"`.
`textAlign`	Both	The text alignment: either `"left"`, `"right"`, or `"center"`. The default value is `"left"`.
`textDecoration`	Both	The text decoration: either `"none"` or `"underline"`. The default value is `"none"`.
