Line break problem

Hi guys!

I’m having a problem in a as3 code here for which i could use a little help, it might be a stupid thing but it’s driving me nuts in the last half hour

I have a text field in which i import text from a xml file enclosed with cdata tags. the text loads perfectly and i use an external stylesheet for the text formatting, runs well, the only problem is that line breaks and pharagraphs don’t work as i wanted…

imagine i have 4 line breaks and 2 pharagraphs in the same position and it counts onyl by one break. ANyone got a clue why? do I have to set something in the stylesheet for the p and br?

Thanks for any help

this.condenseWhite=true;
this.styleSheet=sheet;
this.htmlText=txtString;

this.wordWrap=wordwrap;
this.antiAliasType="advanced";
this.embedFonts=true;
this.selectable=selectableBool;
this.mouseWheelEnabled=false;
this.multiline = multiline;

this.autoSize=TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;

var textHeight:Number=this.height;
this.autoSize=TextFieldAutoSize.NONE;
this.height=Number(textHeight)+Number(this.getTextFormat().leading);

this what I’m using for the text field… (this is a text field instance)

Hi VisualWorks!

How does you xml text and stylesheet looks?

<description><![CDATA[<newsTitles>Since yesterday no one knows how to write!</newsTitles>
        <p></p><p></p><br></br><br></br><br></br><newsText><p>There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don't look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn't anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet.</p> </newsText>]]></description>

this is the xml node for the text…

the style sheet has this

newsTitles {
    font-family:BentonSans-Thin;
    font-size: 26;
    color: #ffffff;
    text-align: left;    
}
newsText {
    font-family:BentonSans;
    font-size: 13;
    color: #cccccc;
    text-align: justify;    
}

i tried almost anything :s

Not sure, but I have tried your example and got multiple linebreaks between newsTitles and newsText.

Thanks Tean, but mine appears llike this :

:s Any guesses?

I will send you the example i made later when i get home again.
