I checked, and "this.foo = 'Jason Lutes';", "this.foo = 'Jason Lutes';", and "this.foo = 'Jason Lutes';" all display the non-breaking space just fine (foo is my TextField variable).
Note: I included the non-breaking space with the embedded characters via the Properties panel, as well as enabled HTML for the field, etc. Either I misunderstood the trouble you're having, or your issue is apparently not whether the text field can display these via the outdated/legacy variable mechanism. It can, and very easily/straightforward. When you trace the value of the htmlText property of the field to the Output window, is the nbsp character, or it's entity (encoded equivalent), still in the text? Related: Aside from the five (required) XML-specific character entities, don't use the mnemonic entities, use a numeric entity (either decimal or hexadecimal). For example, the copyright symbol should be inserted as © or © (when using an entity at all), not as ©. - Jason _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
