Clearly you can get around this by other formats but fact is if you have a document that has negative spacing dont open it in CS5 cause you
This may have been in recent update.
Flash now resets them when you open the file to 0, if you notice or not.

Classic Text Error
Flash CS5

Answer 1

Here's a workaround.
FixTextIndent is a class with static methods that
provides a workaround for the Flash CS5 text formatting
bug.  The Flash CS5 IDE will not remember the text
indent setting for either static or dynamic text fields.
We can set the indent in Actionscript for dynamic fields,
so to use this class, convert your fields to dynamic,
then set the left margin.
When you call FixTextIndent methods, they will set
the indent to the negative of the left margin.
