Use condenseWhite on your textbox to prevent the automatic double spacing of text when in your carriage returns in the text file.

[AS]textfieldinstancename.condenseWhite = true;[/AS]

LIB lol where do you come up with these things 🙂 Nice, very useful!! Hey, is there a way to trim letter spacing? I am new to php and learned that you can “Trim” your variables to make sure there is no spaces in the beginning. Do you know what I mean? I figured since we got into this I might as well ask. Can you apply this technique to flash?

Thanks

I don’t believe you can adjust letter spacing in a dynamic textbox.

using condenseWhite remove all white space and leaves a maximum of 1 space, much like how a browser interprets HTML coding. Aside from that, I have no clue.

And I found out about condenseWhite, and many other useful undocumented features from here…

I find them there and further research them via google 🙂
