I'm rendering text in a multiline textField as htmlText. I need to put some spacing between each paragraph line, but if a line is long and wraps around, I want the spacing to be normal or narrow. Currently, all lines take on the same spacing regardless of the setting.

I have some dynamic text styled with a css stylesheet. I want to be able to control the amount of space between each paragraph. I would do this with a "padding-bottom" tag for a normal web page, but this does not seem to be supported within Flash text styling.
View 3 RepliesI am having the most frustrating time with htmlText in TextField.apparently, if you set the htmlText of a TextField, you always get an extra line at the end.Here is what I have found out:Below, a multiline TextField is created and the text property is set. I then grab the htmlText property, set the htmlText to "" and then reapply the htmlText I had just grabbed. This causes a new line to be added to the Textfield:
Actionscript Code:
var tf:TextField = new TextField();tf.width = tf.height = 200;tf.border = true;tf.multiline = true;tf.wordWrap = true;addChild(tf);tf.text = "this is not htmlText";

I am using a TextArea. I set its htmlText as follows:
textArea.htmlText = '<P ALIGN="CENTER"><FONT FACE="_sans" SIZE="14" COLOR="#FFFF00" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0"></FONT></P>'
The problem is that there are always 2 lines in text area when it runs......when i remove this i get usual one line but then i m not able to set color and all.I want to use textarea, set different colors on it and i dont want 2 lines in that.....
I can't seem to control my letter spacing (kerning) in my dynamic text field. I gave the field an instance name of about_txt and I loaded the text from a text document. The text shows up fine but it is all bunched together. Here is my code:
Code:
var about_req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("about_txt.txt");
var about_1dr:URLLoader = new URLLoader(about_req);
about_1dr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
function
onComplete(event:Event):void{
about_txt.text = event.target.data;
}var fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
fmt.letterSpacing = 10
about_txt.setTextFormat(fmt);
No matter what value I put in for letterSpacing nothing seems to happen.

If you are using Flex 3.5 (not my choice) and you scroll the mousewheel over a Text component with multiple lines of htmlText, it will scroll down 1 (sometimes 2) lines, even [URL] I made sure there is not a blank line below the body of text (it ended after the closing). Notice how the top line is now cut off, and an extra line was added at the bottom.

The weird thing, is that word spacing when adding html links, is bigger than normal spacing. NO EXTRA SPACE IS ADDED, it just gets bigger :?

I have some HTML loaded from an XML document that includes web links (anchor tags). I am using a TextField object to display the text, and am plugging the XML data into the htmlText property of the TextField, and the text is rendering with HTML markup, links are working etc.
The problem I'm seeing is that a new line is created before and after the link, so html like this:
hello world <a href ="#">this is a link</a> and all of this should be on the same line.
is rendered like this (with specific attention paid to the new lines): Does anyone know of a way to prevent these new lines from appearing when using HTML links within a TextField?
For some reason, if you add an image to htmlText, like the following:
myText.htmlText = "<img src='"+dataProvider.bodyImage.getUrl('original')+"' align='left' />" + dataProvider.bodyText;
The image will be successfully added to the htmlText, but it seems to measure the sizes completely wrong. At times, the actual text (dataProvider.bodyText) will have part 'hidden' under the image. At other times, there are anywhere from 1 to 4 lines cut off at the bottom. However, if you select the text and drag your mouse down, you can see the bottom lines. It appears the text is all there, but the mx:Text component is not including the image in the textHeight, so it doesnt resize the componenet to the correct size.
I have a dynamic text box for 3 lines of text. I styled part of the text to be bold and part of it to be regular. When i click on the button to display the text it looks right the first time but if i click on it a second time then all of the text shows up bold instead of just the few lines i assigned the bold tag to.

I am trying to create a mindmap where the user can drag points about the screen. I have gotten as far as drawing the line via actionscript, and drag+drop the points (defined as movie clips on stage). This is the existing script - I don't know how to get the lines to follow the points. Something to do with ENTER_FRAME or updateAfterEvent?
var line:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
line.graphics.lineStyle(1,1);
line.graphics.moveTo(ptOne.x,ptOne.y);

I've got a Grid whose GridItems contain another DataGrids. (The DataGrid are nested in the Grid). Now I changed the Grid's horizontalGap-StyleProperty to zero.

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to figure out a way to center dynamic text fields vertically after the text has been input. For instance, in some instances I would have a dynamic field with two lines, and I would want to center it between two other dynamic fields- but only after the text has been populated. Maybe a better way of explaining it would be changing the spacing of elements on a page so they're always equidistant from one another.

View 3 RepliesHow can I reduce the space between my linkButtons and inside each linkButton ?
I've set padding to 0 but it was already 0.I've been able to only change the height of the LinkButtons, but I cannot do that with the width because the text is dynamic.[code]...
I'm having a little trouble figuring out how to vertically center dynamic text fields once they're loaded. For instance, some of my text fields are one line while others are 3 lines, and I'm having a hard time figuring out how to space them between other text fields equally.
