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. 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.

Set the condenseWhite property before setting the htmlText property.

If the text field's html property 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.
