That would be the best way to do it, in fact I'm not to sure of any other way.

Just put the <b> and </b> tags around your text (in your text file), and make the text field accept HTML. You can set that in the ActionScript, or in the properties panel.

eg.
textFieldname.html = true;

Remember when you set the text, use:
textFieldname.htmlText = htmlTextVar
Not:
textFieldname.text = htmlTextVar

By the way, Do NOT embed fonts for the text field when using html, it won't work-- That is the html text won't show.

Well, hope that helps you.
