Rendering of HTML text in browsers and flash text box is different in the fact that;
spaces, tabs and line brakes are ignored in browsers but are rendered in flash text box.
I faced this problem in my reference panel application and wrote the following script as a solution.
[UPDATE] included the ActionScript 3 version as well 🙂 It became lot more simpler with the regular expressions

String.prototype.onlyHTML = function() {
var str = "";
var prevWhite = true;
for (var i = 0; i<=32;
if (white) {
if (!prevWhite && (code == 9 || code == 32)) {
str += " ";
}
} else {
str += this.charAt(i);
}
prevWhite = white;
}
return str;
}
It removes the extra spaces, tabs and also replaces line brakes with space
