I think the MXML is more readable for a TextArea if you use the mx:htmlText property, but I found that I got a giant left indent on the first line and unexpected line breaks in the TextArea (with a giant indent again) when I used it, whether I included any markup in the property or not. If I use the inline htmlText attribute, everything works fine.
Why is there a difference, and has anyone found a workaround? I tried setting XML.ignoreWhitespace, XML.prettyIndent, etc., but nothing helped. Thanks; Amy
