Good thought.
Ignores margin-bottom.

Try margin-bottom? Hokey way of doing it, but if margin-left and
margin-right work…

No. inline or block, just ignores it.

p

{

  font-family: tahomabd;

  font-size: 14px;

  color: #FF0000;

  display: inline;

}

>From the Adobe site:

Paragraph tag
() The paragraph 
tag creates a new paragraph. The opening 
tag does not force a line break, but the closing tag does. Unlike in HTML, the tag does not force a double space between
paragraphs; the spacing is the same as that generated by the tag.

Well, my bad.

There is no mention in the Xerte or Flash help I could find of this proviso.

So I told the client "these tags are supported", and of course they
have created reams of content based on that.

Pfff.

True. But I think that is the fault of Flash.

Try Pat’s idea of a CSS stylesheet.

p {display:block}

I haven’t tried that in a stylesheet, but I know that
margin-left works. I’ve used that for indenting paragraphs and list items.

To get that in Xerte I do it like this:

<p>Here is a</p>

<p>paragraph</p>

<p>of text.</p>

==========================

Right,
but put that inline and see what you get.

The
 is just a line break, with your physical line returns added
in.

Here is a<br>

paragraph<br>

of text.<br>

will
come close to the same thing.

What
I'm trying to say is, does not seem to function, except as
a essentially.

Which
is a drag if that means you have to you have to pre-parse read-in content.

It
also takes away a spacing tool, as produces differently than
 .

It should insert a line feed after the , but it also
should have one before the . 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 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

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.
