    Line Height Not Working Right

    I'm scratching my head over this one.

    I have a movie with a block of paragraph text, which I want to air out by increasing the line height. When I'm editing it, the line height adjustment seems to be working fine, but when I test/preview the movie, the lines revert back to the default.

    I have "Use Device Fonts" turned off.

    What am I missing?

    What do you mean by 'air out by increasing the line height.' ??
    If someone tells you it can't be done,
    it's probally because they don't know how.

    I mean make it look less dense by putting more space between lines of text. Line spacing is an option under Font Properties, Format.

    OK, never mind. I figured out what was making Flash hiccup.

    Apparently, you can't have two different line space values in the same text box (i.e., two different paragraphs). Even though it appears to work when you try it, Flash will read only the first value once it's published or tested in preview. (Hope that's clear.)

    Just have to divide the text into two different text boxes if you need two different values of line space, I guess.
