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
(<p>) The paragraph <p> tag creates a new
paragraph. The opening <p> tag does
not force a line break, but the closing </p> tag does. Unlike in
HTML, the <p> tag does
not force a double space between paragraphs; the spacing is the same as that
generated by the <br> 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
<p></p> 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, <p></p> does not seem to function, except as a <br>
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 <p> produces differently than <br>.

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,

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

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.
