Line Spacing w/ Dynamic Text

programming flash
1

Hey guys, I have a question about line spacing and dynamic text. For my client site, www.haultrash.com ,a line break is double spaced. I didn’t use HTML, and this is exactly what the Shop Haultrash text file looks like:

shop=HaulTrash.com now has an online store to buy all kinds of HaulTrash merchandise! At the store, you will find:

-T-Shirts
-Sweatshirts
-Collared Shirts
-Baby Accessories
-Boxers
-Hats
-Mugs
-Tote Bags
-And Much More!

If you go to the shop section on the site however, whenever there is a line break it is double spaced. To add to the problem, it works fine on my own server, as you can see if you go to

http://www.someoneleet.com/main.html

The .swf, .html files and .txt files are the exact same on both sites. What could be making the text act like this? Is there a double line break in Flash or something you can customize?

Maybe you guys know something I don’t because I’m stump[ed, and as far as I know, the server should ot have anything to do with the text.

Thanks!

Hey brad… check the one on your site again. It isnt converting the HTML now.

BTW: I am still stumped, same as before.

No Lost, it never was. That is the file you gave me and it never worked. Anyone else have any ideas? Is there a double spacing thing in Flash? This happen to anyone else before?

I can’t help, but if you want company in your misery…

<a href=“http://www.aulman.com/ayoungkim/live/pageflip.html”> my example of Scott Olsen’s pageflip </a>

I ran into the same thing. Since this wasn’t for a client, just speculation, I didn’t worry about it. I would like to know the answer tho…

Sorry I couldn’t help,

Yeah it’s a werid bug. But Rev I didn’t see it on your site, that was pretty good!

-brad-:evil:

it was because, since it was for speculation, and I wasn’t getting paid, I added spaces rather than a HRT, just to show the client…

so it doesn’t show right now, but if I redo the .txt, it will…

just commisserating…

thanks, the pageflip thingy was found by lostinbeta in another thread… open source stuff, not my invention at all… I just put dynamic text in the spaces he had images…

Did anyone of you find a solution for this? I’m having the same problem that “whenever there is a line break it is double spaced”!

Lost showed me this awhile ago and it is a undocumented feature in flash called condenseWhite. I lost the link to the tutorial, but I do have an example FLA that has 2 dynamic text boxes, one has condenseWhite applied to it and the other doesn’t. You can see the difference. I hope it helps.

EG: There was no tutorial, I gave that file and told you how to use it :stuck_out_tongue:

And yes, condenseWhite is an excellent feature and I have no clue why they didn’t document it. Perhaps it isn’t officially completed or supported, but either way it works and it is great.

Oops, I guess you’re the tutorial then Lost. :stuck_out_tongue:

Make one, it can be quite refreshing, and you can be all proud and stuff.

You can run outside and start jogging around your block being all like “LOOK I MADE MY OWN AVATAR!!! YAY!!! NO MORE RED CHILI PEPPERS!!!” Then people can open their doors and throw stuff at you.

Sounds fun eh?

Don’t mind me, I am quite hyper and feel like being annoying tonight :evil:
