as3 text formatting, Underline spacing?

Question

So if I want to imitate a link in as3, when I set

myFormat.underline = true;

the underline is directly underneath my text. Is there any way I can set the spacing of that underland? Thanks.

Answer 1

You can draw a line instead of using the underline. Then space it how ever you want. Just make it the same color as the text.

Something like this in AS 3:

myItem.graphics.lineStyle(1);
myItem.graphics.moveTo(0,0); ///This is where we start drawing
myItem.graphics.lineTo(350, 600);
