[Flashcoders] Weird htmlText line break behavior
I'm encountering an odd problem in as3/fp9-10 when dealing with embedded
fonts, condensed whitespace, style sheet objects and br / tags. I wanted
to see if you guys have heard of it or can verify it as a bug.
I have a textfield set up as such. The intent is to remove all p tag
indents and get fully left justified text with paragraphs having larger
leading than individual lines :
var myTF:TextField = new TextField();
myTF.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
myTF.embedFonts = true;
myTF.condenseWhite = true;
myTF.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
myTF.multiline = true;
myTF.wordwrap = true;
myTF.styleSheet = myStyleSheet;
The stylesheet is an imported .css file and below is the html imported from
an .xml file and protected by a CDATA tag:
h2About Us/h2br /
p class=normalstrongLorem/strong ipsum dolor sit amet,
consectetur/pbr /
p class=normalLorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur./pbr /
p class=normalLorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur./pbr /
p class=normalLorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur./p
The result is fully left justified text but the br / tags are ignored.
Each paragraph does start on a new line but directly below the the previous.
I decided to try a version of the css clear break trick used in xhtml which
produced the results I wanted but for no discernible reason.
I created this style in the .css file,
.lineBreak {
leading: 20;
}
and altered ONLY the first br / tag to this p class=lineBreak /
The weird thing is that not only did the first paragraph get the correct
amount of space, they all did. For some reason, an empty styled p / tag
caused the following br / tags to be recognized.
Thoughts?

Maybe the lettercase of a property is causing an error.
myTF.wordwrap = true; //Need to be wordWrap

Or maybe just use br no slash. On the p issue, make sure the
paragraph is closed off with a /p and not a p /
