Condensing Whitespace
Problem
You want
to condense whitespace in an
HTML text field display.
Solution
Set the object's condenseWhite property to
true.
Discussion
When you use HTML in a text field, the optional
condenseWhite setting condenses whitespace, as is done in
most HTML browsers. For example, the following text would be
rendered in a web browser with only a single space between "hello"
and "friend" in spite of the fact that the original source has
multiple spaces between the two words.
hello friend
In ActionScript text fields, however, all of the
spaces are displayed, unless you set the condenseWhite
property to TRue:
field.condenseWhite = true;
field.htmlText = "hello friend"; // Displays: "hello friend"
The condenseWhite property works only
when the html property is TRue.
