omitted spaces around tags in htmlText

[Zillosophy]

I fear this is something noob'ish but I copied some content from a feed and pasted it into a separate XML file. Now the spaces around my tags are missing when its published.

<p>my text that is, let's say, <b>bold</b> or something.</p>

comes out "my text that is, let's say,boldor something."

!prettyPrinting // didn't effect issue
condenseWhite // also didn't effect issue

b {dispay:inline;} // because it goes block

Any thoughts? -- still a lot of quirks dealing with htmlText

It must be an outside issue. See if you can duplicate teh issue and post the fla up here for us to check it.

It has to be something in one of my classes. Copying the fla's contents and pasting it into a new doc didn't solve it, remembering that I had some apps crash that day.

I need to go through an cut them out and see where the spaces are being dropped.

Edit: I can't recall exactly but the things I said had no effect had effects with the error. prettyPrinting should have been true and condenseWhite was false (think those are defaults) but before I thought condenseWhite removed only the content in between the non-complex content. It was removing it for everything.. thus the lack of spaces.
