How to BOLD some text in TEXT control?

Question

Hi,
I am using {'\n'} for line break. Which HTML tag <should
be <b> > should bold the first 2 words of the sentence?
Plus How do I insert a BULLET before "Smaller"
Thanks

2 ways -
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
backgroundGradientColors="[#FFFFFF, #FFFFFF]">
<mx:Text width="100%" color="blue" fontStyle="italic"
fontSize="14">
<mx:htmlText>
<![CDATA[
This is 14 point blue italic text.<br>
<b><font color="#000000" size="10">This text is
10 point black, italic, and bold.</font></b>
]]>
</mx:htmlText>
</mx:Text>
</mx:Application>
or
var myTextField:TextField = new TextField();
myTextField.text = "No matter where you click on this text
field the TEXT IN ALL CAPS changes format.";
myTextField.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
addChild(myTextField);
addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, changeText);
var myformat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
myformat.color = 0xFF0000;
myformat.size = 18;
myformat.underline = true;
function changeText(event:MouseEvent):void
myTextField.setTextFormat(myformat, 49, 65);
