I've got a text field created using the Flash's Text Tool I set it to dynamic. Is it possible to edit that text using AS3? If yes how?

You can use all the properties of the textfield. So

both

textfield.text

and

textfield.htmlText

will work.

If the textfield is too small, use the autoSize property:

textfield.autoSize = "left";
textfield.htmlText = "<b>hello,\nworld</b>";

will output:

hello,
world

with bold text.

You can also change the multiline property, the wordWrap, background and so on.

Click the text field and set an instance name for it in the properties panel. From here you can access the text field via:

your_instance_name

So to set the text is as easy as:

your_instance_name.text = "your new text";
