Automatic 'return' after a paragraph

Question

It seems to me TLF automatically inserts a 'return' between two paragraphs. So if the first paragraph ends with a return, you get two empty lines between the paragraphs. Is this a correct assumption?
I have been working around this by deleting the last return in a paragraph...
But now (which maybe seems a little bit strange) I want to show two paragraphs without any return, so my work around doesn't do the trick anymore...
Does anybody know if you can turn off the automatic return after a paragraph?

Thanks for the replies!
I think the "paragraph terminator" is what I would like to bypass...
I've made a short example:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flashx.textLayout.formats.TextLayoutFormat;
import flashx.textLayout.container.ContainerController;
    import flashx.textLayout.elements.ParagraphElement;
    import flashx.textLayout.elements.SpanElement;
import flashx.textLayout.elements.TextFlow;
import flashx.textLayout.container.ScrollPolicy;
public class Test2 extends Sprite
  public function Test2() {
   var tekstLayoutFormat:TextLayoutFormat = new TextLayoutFormat();
   var cs:Sprite = new Sprite();
   addChild(cs);
   var textFlow:TextFlow = new TextFlow();
   textFlow.format = tekstLayoutFormat;
   var tekstveldController = new ContainerController(cs, 400, 400);
   tekstveldController.verticalScrollPolicy = ScrollPolicy.OFF;
   tekstveldController.horizontalScrollPolicy = ScrollPolicy.OFF;
   textFlow.flowComposer.addController(tekstveldController);
   textFlow.flowComposer.updateAllControllers();
   var paragraphElement = new ParagraphElement();
   var spanElement = new SpanElement();
   spanElement.text = "text1";
   spanElement.fontSize = 10;
   paragraphElement.addChild(spanElement);
   var paragraphElement2 = new ParagraphElement();
   var spanElement2 = new SpanElement();
   spanElement2.text = "text2";
   spanElement2.fontSize = 10;
   paragraphElement2.addChild(spanElement2);
   textFlow.addChild(paragraphElement);
   textFlow.addChild(paragraphElement2);
   textFlow.flowComposer.updateAllControllers();
This test shows:
text1
text2
What I would like to get (maybe strangely enough) is:
text1text2
is this possible?
