I just upgraded to flash player 10.1 and there's an issue with a program that I've been working on. I'm copying text from a mysql table that is formatted with spaces and newlines (including spaces and newlines at the beginning of the text) into a textArea in Flex 3.5. Before the update,it worked fine. Now when AS retrieves the text from the table, it does not include the spaces and newlines at the beginning of the text.I'm using xml to retrieve the text.

View 2 RepliesHow to make a DYNAMIC TEXT invinsible at the begining and toggle the view accordingly.The Important thing is - I need the text to be invinsible at the begining. The main thing behind my need is WHEN the user GO FORWARD and BACKWARD in the main timeline the visibility of the text box should be unchanged unless the user decide to change it's visibility by clicking "chk_tbtn1" button.
In the code below every time the user go backward in timeline, it makes the txt box invinsible.
_root.my_Dyn_Txt1._visible = false
this.chk_tbtn1.onRelease = function() {
_root.my_Dyn_Txt1._visible = !_root.my_Dyn_Txt1._visible;

View 1 RepliesI have a movieclip with a TextArea inside it with the instance name writeUps_txt.The movieclip is added to the stage with actionscript and I want to set the text inside writeUps_txt after the movieclip is added to the stage.Why won't the following work?
infoPages[i].writeUps_txt.text = blurbs[i];
I've checked everything and all of my arrays contain the right objects so everything is kosher there. To add to the problem, this line:
infoPages[i].title_txt.text = locations[i];
does work and the only difference is that title_txt is dynamic text.Is there a difference between how dynamic text and textAreas behave in this regard?

Ok, so I've read up on the TextArea class in Livedocs, and i've been looking at XML explanations and their implementation into Flash for about a week. I've tried this EXACT code on another Flash document, except on the main stage instead of embedded inside of a
separate movie clip, and it worked perfectly. Can anyone explain why the text won't display in the TextArea? Does it have something to do with it being inside of a movieclip and that being placed on the Main Stage? (By the way, proxy.xml is just a copy of the xml produced by my CFM proxy for easier usage, in case you were wondering.
