[flexcoders] Extra space appearing between my mx:Text elements

[whatabrain]

I create the following objects inside an mx:TitleWindow:

<mx:HBox>
        <mx:Text condenseWhite="true" text="hi"/>
        <mx:Text condenseWhite="true" text="there"/>
</mx:HBox>


The display has 20px or so of space between the two text elements. How 
can I get rid of this space? Should I be using something other than 
mx:Text?
