thank you for your response.
question: how do you/did you include the non-breaking space with the
embedded characters via the properties panel, i.e. did you write " " in
the "include these characters" field?
and yes, in the end my problem was a little different. i was adding only one
non-breaking space and was expecting the first word in the next line to be
moved one space, when in fact there were probably 6 or 7 spaces remaining in
the above line. my solution was to first create a new line via "\n\ and then
add a space via unicode "\u00a0".
and that solved my problem.
thank you. -- matt.

Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] adding in html enabled text field
I checked, and "this.foo = 'Jason Lutes';", "this.foo =
'Jason Lutes';", and "this.foo = 'Jason Lutes';" all display the
non-breaking space just fine (foo is my TextField variable).
Note: I included the non-breaking space with the embedded characters via the
Properties panel, as well as enabled HTML for the field, etc.
Either I misunderstood the trouble you're having, or your issue is
apparently not whether the text field can display these via the
outdated/legacy variable mechanism. It can, and very easily/straightforward.
When you trace the value of the htmlText property of the field to the Output
window, is the nbsp character, or it's entity (encoded equivalent), still in
the text?
Related: Aside from the five (required) XML-specific character entities,
don't use the mnemonic entities, use a numeric entity (either decimal or
hexadecimal). For example, the copyright symbol should be inserted as ©
or © (when using an entity at all), not as ©.
