condenseWhite (TextField.condenseWhite property)

public condenseWhite : Boolean

A Boolean value that specifies whether extra white space (spaces, line breaks, and so on) in an

HTML text field should be removed when the field is rendered in a browser. The default

value is

false.

If you set this value to

true, you must use standard HTML commands such as <BR> and <P>

to place line breaks in the text field.

If the text field's

.html is false, this property is ignored.

Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 6

Example

The following example creates two text fields, called

first_txt and second_txt. The white

space is removed from the second text field. Add the following ActionScript to your FLA or

AS file:

var my_str:String = "Hello\tWorld\nHow are you?\t\t\tEnd";

this.createTextField("first_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 10, 160,

120);

first_txt.html = true;

first_txt.multiline = true;

first_txt.wordWrap = true;

first_txt.condenseWhite = false;

first_txt.border = true;

first_txt.htmlText = my_str;

this.createTextField("second_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 180, 10,

160, 120);

second_txt.html = true;

second_txt.multiline = true;

second_txt.wordWrap = true;

second_txt.condenseWhite = true;

second_txt.border = true;

second_txt.htmlText = my_str;

The MovieClip.getNextHighestDepth() method used in this example requires Flash Player

7 or later. If your SWF file includes a version 2 component, use the version 2 components

DepthManager class instead of the

MovieClip.getNextHighestDepth() method.
