Based on some examples this should work, but doesn't... Any ideas why the txt is shown as follows with spaces instead of linebreaks or tabs? 111111 222222 33333 44444 55555 66666 77777 This is the code used: <fx:Script> <![CDATA[ import flash.text.engine.TabAlignment; import flashx.textLayout.conversion.TextConverter; import flashx.textLayout.formats.TabStopFormat; import flashx.textLayout.formats.TextLayoutFormat; private function setText() : void { // Test content var txt : String = "<p><span>111111\n222222\t33333\t44444\t55555\n66666\t77777</span></p>"; var xml : XML = new XML("<TextFlow xmlns='http://ns.adobe.com/textLayout/2008'>" + txt + "</TextFlow>"); // Define three tab positions var tabStop1:TabStopFormat = new TabStopFormat(); tabStop1.alignment = TabAlignment.START; tabStop1.position = 50; var tabStop2:TabStopFormat = new TabStopFormat(); tabStop2.alignment = TabAlignment.CENTER; tabStop2.position = 150; var tabStop3:TabStopFormat = new TabStopFormat(); tabStop3.alignment = TabAlignment.END; tabStop3.position = 250; // Define the formatter var format:TextLayoutFormat = new TextLayoutFormat(); format.tabStops = new Array(tabStop1, tabStop2, tabStop3); // Put the text in the textbox txtBox.textFlow = TextConverter.importToFlow(xml, TextConverter.TEXT_LAYOUT_FORMAT); // Assign the formatter to the textbox txtBox.textFlow.format = format; } ]]></fx:Script><s:RichText id="txtBox" top="25" left="25" width="400" height="200" />
