Free Flash Tutorial

This tutorials will show you how to remove trailing or leading spaces from a string of text, be it a text box, variable, xml loaded file etc. This handy script will trim any string spaces. This includes Tab spaces, Enter or new line spaces and normal spaces form the Space Bar.

It will convert to sentence like:

"                 This has too many normal spaces at the start and end of it.           "

To a sentence like this:

"This has normal spaces in it"

Other Examples might be:

"                 

This has too many enter spaces at the start of it"

To get a better idea play around with the Flash file, so why not have go with a few words or sentences that have spaces at the begging or end or both:
