[Xerte] Compile library error

And that will account for line wraps? ;-)
Of course, if the font was monotype, I could count chars, but no.

Thinking more in the range of hogsheads at the moment.

Transparent GIF spacer?

Sounds like you need an Imperial Pint. With a whiskey chaser.

And to end my perfect day, it seems _ytile doesn't want to work when the text
is set dynamically.

I think we ran across this a couple years ago and it's an embedded font thing?

Still early here, but time for a pint.

How about using the replace() function? replace(string,

padding-bottom? (and no,

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

No.

  display: inline;

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>

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

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)

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?

Tahoma

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

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.
