MACROMEDIA FLASH 8-ACTIONSCRIPT 2.0 LANGUAGE - Condensewhite (Textfield.condensewhite Property)

1176 ActionScript classes
condenseWhite (TextField.condenseWhite property)
public condenseWhite : Boolean
A Boolean value that specifies whether extra white space (spaces, line breaks, and so on) in an
HTML text field should be removed when the field is rendered in a browser. The default
value is
false.
If you set this value to
true, you must use standard HTML commands such as <BR> and <P>
to place line breaks in the text field.
If the text field's
.html is false, this property is ignored.
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 6
Example
The following example creates two text fields, called
first_txt and second_txt. The white
space is removed from the second text field. Add the following ActionScript to your FLA or
AS file:
var my_str:String = "Hello\tWorld\nHow are you?\t\t\tEnd";
this.createTextField("first_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 10, 160,
120);
first_txt.html = true;
first_txt.multiline = true;
first_txt.wordWrap = true;
first_txt.condenseWhite = false;
first_txt.border = true;
first_txt.htmlText = my_str;
this.createTextField("second_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 180, 10,
160, 120);
second_txt.html = true;
second_txt.multiline = true;
second_txt.wordWrap = true;
second_txt.condenseWhite = true;
second_txt.border = true;
second_txt.htmlText = my_str;
The MovieClip.getNextHighestDepth() method used in this example requires Flash Player
7 or later. If your SWF file includes a version 2 component, use the version 2 components
DepthManager class instead of the
MovieClip.getNextHighestDepth() method.
