Hi,

I’m looking to add some space between paragraphs within a TextField in Flash. I want to keep the source HTML compliant - specifically, keep my \</p\> tags (ironically, removing them fixes this because then Flash renders the line breaks). I was hoping to do this with the stylesheet (as I would in regular HTML) but there doesn’t appear to be any mechanism to add space above and/or below elements.

Has anyone come across something that would help?

Cheers.
