Hey guys, I have a question about line spacing and dynamic text. For my client site, [www.haultrash.com](http://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](http://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](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! -brad- ---

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? -brad-:evil: ---

I can’t help, but if you want company in your misery… \ my example of Scott Olsen’s pageflip \ 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, Rev ![](http://www.aulman.com/rev.gif) ---

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… Rev ![](http://www.aulman.com/rev.gif) ---

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”! Mike ---

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 😛 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. ---

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: ---
