I’ve got a script where I’m changing the context menu. This is what the items look like:

```auto

var menuItem:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem("This is where content goes.", noClick);

```

What I need is for some space to show up in the item, preferably before the start of the sentence. But if I just put some spaces in there it won’t take. Is there some code for that like the _&nbsp_ with HTML?
