Does margin:0 0 0 0 get support?

padding-bottom? (and no, I'm not implying anything about anyone's anatomy)

I expect you'll get the same results if margin-bottom doesn't work.

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 
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.
