syntax for a new line in a text box

[active]

Can anybody tell me what is the correct syntax if you want each text variable to read on a new line in the dynamic text box. EG

dynamicTextBox = textVariable1 + textVariable2 + textVariable3;

Cheers

a = "blah"
b = "clah"
text = a + "\n" + b

i realise this is an OLD post, but this doesn't work for me.. I'm using Flash8.

I made a dynamic text box on the stage. I named it "box".

Here's the code i put on frame 1.

a="blah"
b="blah"
words=a+"/n"+b
this.box.text=words

here's what it displayed:

blah/nblah

Not words=a+"/n"+b;

But words=a+"\n"+b;

ahh, thanks! :o ...that was frustrating me so much...

"\n" creates a new line in the textfield.
Make sure your textfield is set to multiline.

Not sure what else there is to know.
