Dynamic Text HTML space characters dissappearing

Has anyone else ever had or heard of this situation? Its only happening around the edges of link tags,


Hello <a href="">world</a> my name is george.

renders as

Helloworldmy name is george.

The link still works fine, Ive tried putting the spaces outside the link tags but it still happens.
Im having to put double spaces in to get only one of them appearing its so wierd.
I dont remember this happening when I was working in AS2 but cant isolate the problem at all.

Its absolutely killing me any help would be fantastic…

thanks

Ive come back to this post because Ive just seen this problem occurring on the Big Spaceship homepage: www.bigspaceship.com (and have seen other people struggle with it since)

If you want to see what I mean, roll over the links in the news panel of their homepage, you can see the weird shift in other areas (the links only it seems) of the textfield, the space chars dont necessarily disappear but they seem to be the problem areas.

I believe this is down to the TextFieldAutoSize property, it must be set to LEFT if your text is left justified, it seems you cant just leave it to be.
This is what fixed my problem anyway.

Ill probably send them an email letting them know soon as I imagine they would rather not have it occuring. So the problem may not exist on that example for too much longer…
