flash actionscript: Hi could someone please help..

I am using a single quote (') in a text array. But when I call the text and
display it in a text field, the characters immediately after are separated by
about 5 spaces. (eg They' ___ ll)

As you can see its a problem. Now the text array is inside a double quote,
and I've tried using URL encoding ( %27 ) inplace of the (') but it don't work.
Has anyone else had this problem.. how did you fix it?


Thankx.

Ahh, yes, good one macromedia. :(

It took me a while, but I found that your application doesn't support fonts
very well. In this case it was an OS X system font, it could not format
properly. This was fixed by changing the font to a more common font, like
verdana.


To the people @ macromedia -- will this problem be documented ??
