Hi EKA, Too easy. For this application I'm using the v2 text area component. "condenseWhite" is not listed as a property. I realized that the text area component doesn't inherit properties from the flash text field.
myTextArea.label.condenseWhite=true works fine though. Thanks for the tip! It's a bit strange that the default value for this property changes depending on the version of the swf file. Cheers Robin where I should have looked up the text filed properties. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of eka Sent: Wednesday, 30 August 2006 1:43 AM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] HTML formated text in Flash 8 SWF Hello :) try to use TextField.condenseWhite property :) http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flashlite/2/main/00000816.html EKA + :) 2006/8/29, Robin Burrer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Hi all, > > This is wired.
