Hi,
I've been pulling my hair out over this one too, and I eventually found a solution (too late for the project I was working on, but good enough for the next one!). The problem is to get Flash to embed the font outline for the non breaking space. There is a file called : C:\Documents and Settings\ian\Local Settings\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash 8\en\Configuration\FontEmbedding\UnicodeTable.xml That contains all the "presets" in the embed window for a text field. In the glyphRange for Latin I, I did this: <glyphRange name="Latin I " id="17" > <range min="0x0020" max ="0x0020" /> <range min="0x00A0" max ="0x00FF" /> - here I changed A1 to A0 so it includes A0 - the unicode for a non-breaking space. ... and to be sure, I added a new glyphRange at the end : <glyphRange name="Non Breaking Space " id="26" > <range min="0x00A0" max ="0x00A0" /> </glyphRange> and selected this one in the text field too embedded font outlines popup too. It seems to work fine. Ian > Hi > > thanks for the suggestions. <br> is no good in this case as I need the text to > stay on the same line. > > It turns out it is down to using embedded fonts.
