As3 Bug? Newline Automatically Entered After Css Tag

I am rendering a TextField (Flash CS5) with the following css and html properties : css = 'a {font-weight: bold;} fu {color: #00A0A0;}' wordWrap = true multiline = true html = <

Solution 1:

The problem here is that htmlText supports only a limited number of tags and attributes, and thus CSS support is frankly quite poor. So it is not a bug, but a known limitation...

My recommendation would be to use a span tag with a class attribute, like:

css = ".foo {color: #00A0A0;}"html = ""[...]the past centuries…
<span class=\"foo\">WE AIM TO CARRY ON WITH THE INNOVATION</span>&quot;";

Solution 2:

Instead of going the complex "span" way, just add this in you css description:

css = "a {font-weight: bold;} fu {color: #00A0A0; display:inline;}"
