This file demonstrates several ways to use the richinputtext class to set the formatting of rich formatted text. See this example live at http://weblog.openlaszlo.org/files/testrichinputtext.lzx.swf

    <!--- With the setTextAttr function, we can set particular attributes
        of text to be particular values, in whatever combinations we choose.
        Notice that only the specified values change; if LzTextFormat.color 
        is not defined, the color of the font doesn't change.
