   Cool, had many problems with bullets and TextField before. How would that work when the line is slightly longer? Would it indent the second (wrapped) line?

   hey daniel, you don’t have to use DIN and Helvetica, you can use the font of your choice. In case you want to use DIN and Helvetica you’ll have to buy them (e.g. http://www.linotype.com)

   Hi everyone..

   The script works fine.. but does anyone know how to make a square instead of a bullet? and how to change the indentation of the list..

   I tried to put the unicode U+25A0 for the square but that didnt help..

   Hope someone can help me out here.. Thanks!

   Hey Hanna,

   Flash automatically takes the U+2022 Character in your font, you can’t change that. To get a square instead of a bullet you either look for a font that has a square at U+2022 or you edit the font file and put the square to U+2022.

   You can indent the list using stylesheets.
   I can send you an example later on … just drop me a line if you need one

   Hey Martin,

   Thanks a lot… An example with font and the stylesheet for the indentation would be great!

   ok stylesheets didn’t work with the hack, but I found another way … see the examples above

    Hey Martin, nice and very helpfull trick ;-)

    It seems only that when the list text goes to two lines the ‘non printing char’ leaves a space.

    You have had any problem with that ?

    the ‘non printing char’ shouldn’t leave a space at all! (that’s basically the reason for the name). You have to take a char in your font that doesn’t get printed and doesn’t leave any space … you could also specify a char of you font that isn’t embeded (e.g. you embed A-Z than you can use any other character)
