[Xerte] Compile library error

It should insert a line feed after the </p>, but it also should have one
before the <p>. Normal output in Flash should be:

 

Here is a 

paragraph

of text.

 

But on a web page it should look like:

 

Here is a

 

paragraph

 

of text.

 

To get that in Xerte I do it like this:

 

<p>Here is a</p>

<p>paragraph</p>

<p>of text.</p>

 

But I'm a little anal about stuff like that.  ;o)

When I run it, 

Here is a <p>paragraph</p> of text

Appears as:

Here is a paragraph
 of text.

That what you see?
It's breaking at the </p> for me.

This works OK?

 

It's nothing to do with the engine. In this example, the <p> drops the
text a line, are you sure you can actually see it? It's not being
poushed somewhere you can't see.

 

If you inspect the text of the icon, what do you get?

I can't get <p> to work in any plain vanilla way.
Any chance the interpretation got broken in the engine?

I don't know I'm afraid, I hardly ever use embedded fonts.

Tahoma italic is apparently not a Win system font.
You have to buy it from 3rd party.
:-/

No diff with <p align="left">
Wonder why <li> would work but not the more basic stuff?

Unfortunately, fonts look lousy without anti-aliasing.

They do work with a non-embedded font. I don't know if you also need a
ialic font, sometimes you need a separate bold font.

 

I'd have thought <p> would have worked though. Hmm. Did you try <p
align="left">?

Could be, although I've compiled libs before and not seen it.

Aside:

details.setText('How to:<li>1. Move the pointer</li>'); //gives me an
indented  bullet line

details.setText('How to:<br>1. Move the pointer'); //gives me a line
break

details.setText('How to:<p>1. Move the pointer</p>'); //gives me nothing

details.setText('How to:<i>1. Move the pointer<i>'); //gives me nothing


I thought  p and i etc were supported?

Font is embedded Tahoma/Tahomabd

I don't see that. You have Win2000 don't you? Maybe something to do with
trying to run swfmill from zinc on Win2K?

Just an FYI for the archives.

When I hit compile library I initially get an error dialog:

Windows - No Disk
Exception Processing Message blah blah.

If I hit Continue, it seems to compile normally.

Google says this is usually a start-up problem involving Quicktime, but
this only happens when I hit Compile library.
