Format dynamically loaded text

1

Hi there,

I want to format my dynamically loaded text like this:

text <a space here> more text
text <a space here> more text
text <a space here> more text

basically I want to ‘tab’ the text to align it in a text box.

I use HTML in my text file, but can’t think of a way of creating this ‘tab’ or spacing format.

any ideas gurus?

A tab in HTML is denoted with: &nbsp;&nbsp;&n**bsp; so you could put in your textfile;

some text &nbs**p;&**nbsp;&**nbsp; some more text. Not sure if it’ll work, ive never tried it, i’m just thinking it might.

I’m having a somewhat related issue… I’m trying to dynamically load some text with HTML formatting into an MC that’s loaded into another MC.

When I test the first MC, everything looks fine, but when I test the main MC (with the first MC loading in), I don’t see anything. All fonts are embedded and the targeting is on point… anyone have any ideas what I’m doing wrong?

You type &nb**sp; , but it got rendered to a space, so I fixed it. That way, w digital can read it :smiley:

Daedeuls i had the same problem, dont embed the fonts. its really weird, i think its a bug or something, cos the text i had appearing were meant to be links and when you roll the mouse over the cursor would change even though you couldnt see the text!!
