abhishek,

If it looks like a Flex bug, can you please file it at http://bugs.adobe.com/flex/ and include a simple test case. Or, if it looks like a Flash Player bug, can you please file it at http://bugs.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and include a simple test case.

Actually, I turned this into a new entry (so you can view source, see a SWF, etc), “Condensing HTML white space in the RichTextEditor control in Flex”.

Marcio, Does this work for you?

<mx:RichTextEditor id="richTextEditor"
        htmlText="{str}"
        textAreaStyleName="myTextAreaStyleName" 
        width="100%"
        height="100%"
        creationComplete="richTextEditor.textArea.condenseWhite = true;" />

Or:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
        layout="vertical"
        verticalAlign="middle"
        backgroundColor="white">

    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            private function checkBox_change(evt:Event):void {
                richTextEditor.textArea.condenseWhite = checkBox.selected;
            }
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>

    <mx:String id="str" source="lorem.txt" />

    <mx:ApplicationControlBar dock="true">
        <mx:Form styleName="plain">
            <mx:FormItem label="condenseWhite:">
                <mx:CheckBox id="checkBox"
                        change="checkBox_change(event);" />
            </mx:FormItem>
        </mx:Form>
    </mx:ApplicationControlBar>

    <mx:RichTextEditor id="richTextEditor"
            htmlText="{str}"
            textAreaStyleName="myTextAreaStyleName" 
            width="100%"
            height="100%" />

</mx:Application>

How to condense white space around HTML tags or TXT using the Flex RichTextEditor control

Hi Peter,
Thank you for your time. Even though it takes more time to write in actionscript, it is the only way to build real applications like creating visual controls/components and containers at run time. I don’t find mxml useful because it is used for building static controls. Most of the examples I found online and books are using mxml which is unfair. I need to improve my skill set on Flex. Anyone can drag and drop controls in Flex, and mxml is generated by default. Therefore, I need some examples in actionscript to improve my skills. I appreciated your time and examples on your site.

Sincerely,

Ozgur,

No good reason, apart from it takes more time to write each example twice. :)
I updated the entry above and added a hybrid MXML+ActionScript version, is that what you were looking for, or did you want 100% ActionScript?
