Stupid Text Problem

programming flash
1

Hey guys I’ve been searching the forums for about a half hour and can’t find the asnwer to my stupid question. I’m almost embarassed posting this because its such a n00b question and the answer is gonna be real simple. But anyways with a dynamic text box with html checked, when I hit a hard enter key on my keyboard in the text file to go down a line, flash double spaces that line. It’s only where I want to go down a line that Flash does this, in the regular text the text wraps and is single spaced. How do I get rid of this?

EXAMPLE:

<b>In text file:</b>

myVar=Hello
Hi.

<b>In Flash it comes out as:</b>
Hello

Hi.

Thanks!

Instead of using hard returns, try putting an ampersand where you want a line break. So:

myVar=&Hello&
&Hi.&

I think this will sort it… :slight_smile:

actually the & would start a new variable, not a line break :slight_smile:

use
or <**br> (the latter requires html rendering to be enabled)

Ah, good point Ahmed - I opened the wrong text file. :sure: Note to self - must check filenames first before posting. :stuck_out_tongue:

But since you already have HTML enabled, a <br> should do the trick.

lol :P… yeah…

some people also use <p></p> for each paragraph… i don’t like doing that though cause it returns two line breaks :slight_smile:
