yes, that's what I saw.

Just read through the mails. Sorry I can't signpost every flash gribble up front, but I know you know that.
Flash html / css is far from complete, a major sub-set of what ought to be possible. I hope it is better in Flex - it should be. It's been widely derided for ages, and there is more complex suppot for text in Flex / AS3.0.

Unfortunately that doesn't fill in your hole. I don't know the nature of the layouts, so appreciate it might be a real showstopper if you rely on the exact layout for interactivity. However, level with the
 designers about what can be done. It would be a real pain, but breaking the text into seperate movieclips so you can position them where you need them works, but that's not without it's problems either. If there's anything Xerte can do to help, like any engine
 functions you'd like, let me know.

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 for me.

This works OK?

It’s nothing to do with the engine. In this example, the 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 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 would have worked though. Hmm. Did you try ?

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: 1. Move the pointer'); //gives me a line break

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

details.setText('How to:1. Move the pointer'); //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.
