Extra Lines when using Dynamic Text

[Danman]

As you will probably tell, im new here, and pretty new to action script (but i have some experience with other languages)

Ok so i have a dynamic text that is linked to a var, a string variable that has multiple lines(btw is that possible?). Anyway, when i play, in the place of each of my new lines, there are two new lines. The result is having tons of space between paragraphs. Why would this be and how can i make it work properly?
Also, the newline only works properly when the text wraps onto the next line.

If you could help it would be greatly appreciated!

Are you rendering the textbox as HTMLtext?

[Danman]

Yes, but even when I don't, it still makes those extra lines. Any ideas?

Can I see the code?

[Danman]

Well, the text in the textbox is actually from a txt file. Could the newline characters from the txt translate as two lines somehow?
Does that make sense btw?

Sometimes things get screwy with text files. Hard returns will occassionly render as a line break. Coping text from word documents causes hidden characters to copy also. If you want to attach files I'll take a look.

Nah its fine, I think I have a way to fix it. Thanks for your help!
