The textfields in flash automatically line break the second part of a hyphenated word. Is there a property to make the hyphen read as a regular character and treat the whole word as one and not line break at the hyphen?

EX: Current text-field behavior:

Buy all of the teacher-  
approved supplies.

I want it to behave like so:

Buy all of the  
teacher-approved supplies.
