In my movie ive got my css working with xml data but theres one thing that wont work, Margin spacing.

My xml looks a bit like this

\<timetable\>  
\<day\>Monday\</day\>  
\<group\>\<span class=“one”\>group\</span\>\</group\>  
\<hours\>\<span class=“two”\>hours\</span\>\</hours\>  
\</timetable\>

The span is so that ‘group’ and ‘hours’ will stay on the same line in the text box.

This is my css…

.one {  
margin-left:20px;  
}

.two {  
margin-left:100px;  
}

But only the class ‘one’ margin space will work. class ‘two’ just stays directly next to ‘one’

ive tried margin0-right on one still wont work ive tried padding neither does that.

Can anyone please help??

There’s a list of supported html tags here. Flash support for HTML is fairly limited.

I would be tempted to use 2 separate text boxes.

Or maybe look at _Texformat.tabSt_ops and/or \*Textformat.indent \*in the Help files:  
ActionScript classes \> TextFormat \> tabStops (TextFormat.tabStops property)  
ActionScript classes \> TextFormat \> indent (TextFormat.indent property)

There’s also a useful example file under \*Text format tag \*in the Learning Actionscript 2.0 help book:  
Working with Text and Strings \> Using HTML-formatted text \> About supported HTML tags \> Text format tag
