A html textfield, with tags styled by a Flash StyleSheet, jumps around when rolling over said tags… only when this text field is multilined, with a set width, and set to autoSize.

The solution is… after you’ve populated that html textfield (ie. set its htmlText property), capture the dimensions of said textfield, turn off autoSize, then set said textfields _width and _height properties.

Eg, after setting the htmlText property…

/*
SNAPSHOT…
/
var o:Object = { w:Math.ceil(txt._width), h:Math.ceil(txt._height) };
/
TURN OFF AUTOSIZE…
/
txt.autoSize = false;
/
SET THE WIDTH AND _HEIGHT…
*/
txt.width = o.w;
txt._height = o.h;

…problem solved.

Leading works fine! But what about setting the letterSpacing to floating point (noninteger) values? TextFormat won't work while using stylesheets and setting the letter-spacing in the stylesheet doesn't allow you to set the value to floating point (noninteger) values (such as 2.6). Any Ideas?</p> ok guys! Leading works fine! But what about setting the letterSpacing to floating point (noninteger) values?

When you rollover the lines of text change there position which makes an unpleasent effect.

Any ideas how to fix it?
