Hi Andrew, I took a look at what we did and, unfortunately, our solution was a "pre-processing" script before the HTML was deployed to our Flash project. Since there are "real" differences between Flash HTML and standard HTML -- especially with regards to white space -- we provided our client a set of guidelines so that they could use any WYSIWYG HTML editor. We then parsed the files subbing out character entities for Flash Unicode notation (\u0000), collapsing whitespace, etc.
Sorry I did not get back to you yesterday. ...Rob P.S. FWIW, using split/join, is probably the easiest way to do it. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andrew Sinning Sent: Sunday, January 13, 2008 10:23 PM To: Flash Coders List Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] mdash in htmlText Thanks Helmut. With your lead I was able to come up with the following.
