Does anyone have any idea how to indent text on every line? I am alligning my text to the border of my movieclip wich has a diagonal border. So when i add my text it should indent for example: 2px on line 2, 4px on line 3, 6 on line 4, 8 on line 5, etc. Would there be an easy way to do this?
View 1 RepliesI have a bunch of text I am working with from XML and when I import it into my text field it becomes automatically indented on the first line. Is there a way to lose this indent? If I take off word wrapping it does make the indent go away, but then of course the text spans across further than the text field horizontally.
Here are some of the properties I have assigned to the text field I am using:
ActionScript Code:
myTextField.htmlText = txtPath; //txtPath is the loaded and parsed XML
myTextField.multiline = true;
myTextField.wordWrap = true;
I'm importing text from a .xml file, in that file my text is formatted with HTML and an imported StyleSheet. The problem is...

I load a simple XML text into a dynamic TextField (Flash CS4):
HTML Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Maybe I could use myTxt.condenseWhite = true; but dont know how to aply line breaks there.
in Flash CS4 I have static text like: Line1 and line2 It's in 9 point Arial Regular as a device font. If I set the line spacing below 3.9 the second line dissappears from the compiled SWF file. It still shows in the FLA file. The same thing happens at 6pt but NOT at 5pt or less.

View 5 RepliesWhen a Dynamic Multiple line text field is used in Flash CS3, it has a very annoying feature that auto inserts a line break at the end of inserted text. It also auto inserts a line break if no text is entered too.
I'm having a problem with this because the text is being saved from flash to a text file on the desktop. With every multi-line text field there's a nasty looking line break.
Any way of "turning off" this auto-line-break-at-the-end feature?

It needs to occur within double quotes; " rather than ' ', other wise it is rendered literally. How do I enter new lines into Action Script text strings?
