// outpout content1content2
This not!

I am rendering a TextField (Flash CS5) with the following css and html properties :
css = "a {font-weight: bold;} fu {color: #00A0A0;}"
wordWrap = true
multiline = true
html = <![CDATA["Phoenicians were pioneering artisans and ingenious craftsmen...
They developed the technique behind the production of transparent glass...
Their innovation spread around the globe throughout the past centuries...
<fu>WE AIM TO CARRY ON WITH THE INNOVATION</fu>"]]>
The last QUOTE is rendered in a line BELOW "WE AIM TO...". It's rendered like this :
WE AIM TO CARRY ON WITH THE INNOVATION
The ONLY way to render the quote in the same line with "WE AIM..." is to :
a) Either put it INSIDE <fu>
b) Or remove <fu> altogether.
Is this a Flash bug? Am I doing something wrong with css or html?

View 1 RepliesI want to add a newline to a string text and I was wondering if there is a newline constant in actionscript 3? For example in .net there is an Environment.NewLine that is a string, containing "

I have made this converter and it stops working when the user presses enter, as the new line corrupts the data. So i thought, i'll just remove the new lines every time the user presses enter. But apparently i can't access the '' character using string search functions or regular expressions.I try to execute the code in the Change event of input_TF.text
ActionScript Code:
trace(input_TF.indexOf("
"))//always -1

What I am trying to do is take a string of numbers and convert it into an array, while cutting out the non-digits. Here is the format:1.0000000e+000 1.3668423e+000 1.0000000e+000 1.3668423e+0001.0000000e+000 1.3668423e+000So it's basically: Space, Space, Digit, Space, Space, Digit, NewlineRight now I am using the following code (myString is a String, and dataSet1 is an Array):
var reg:RegExp = new RegExp("
");
myString = textLoader.data;dataSet1 = myString.split(reg);

In the script, sometimes a newline is added in the beginning of the text field (am using a textArea in adobe flex 3), and later on that newline might need to be removed. I was wondering how to check if there is a newline at the beginning of the text field and then how to remove it.

View 2 RepliesI need to replace multiple contiguous new line/line feed characters in flex with a single new line character.
Example:
The string
"My name is blah blah
My name is blah
"
Should be converted to
"My name is blah blah
My name is blah
"
Hope the example makes it easier to understand.
I am using a component to render it.
I guess using regex would be the easiest way to do this, but still it would be great if people can point me out to references/examples to get this done with ease.
I am using flex 4.5.

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.
